...Intelligence on Iran Joe Klein's article about the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report on the Iranian nuclear program and President George W. Bush's response to it was quite disturbing [Dec. 17]. Before the NIE findings, how close did Bush push us into yet another military engagement? When Bush talks about winning in Iraq, what is it that we will have won? Will it be worth our military losses of more than 3,800 Americans killed and thousands more maimed or mentally affected? The NIE report is a reminder of Bush's disconnect with the reality that we Americans...
Thanks to Klein for his article's poetic conclusion. Along with Joe Biden's ? assessment of Bush as possibly "one of the most incompetent Presidents in modern American history," the truth that many of us have known finally wins out. So much for legacy. Dean Pappas, SALT LAKE CITY...
...Klein's cover story was very dangerous and misleading. No matter what the latest conclusion is from some of the government's analysts, the President of Iran has threatened a U.S. ally with extinction.

Should We Stay Firm on Iran? Charles Krauthammer's Viewpoint "Keep up the Pressure" was a balanced response to Joe Klein's article [Dec. 17]. The problem I have with the whole debate is that everyone looks at Iran's approach to nuclear-weapons development from a traditional-warfare point of view. To counter terrorism you have to think like a terrorist. Think of the disruption a few well-placed dirty bombs could cause if they were set off in a couple of key strategic locations, like midtown Manhattan and outside the Capitol. I would be more concerned with...
...difference between our two countries is that nine out of 10 French know who Marceau was, while only one in 10 Americans has heard of Mailer. And others, more mischievous still, would assert that Mailer was better known in Europe than in the U.S. Indeed, Woody Allen, William Klein, Philip Roth, Paul Auster and so many other American creative spirits are bigger draws in this country, with its supposedly moribund culture, than they are in the U.S. No doubt, you will say, this is because our French artists are not up to scratch, and our public turns to talents from...
