...Radical Rethink Thank you for the article on "Reverse Radicalism," in which you interviewed repentant terrorist Nasir Abas [March 24]. Muslims should listen to him when he says the Koran forbids killing civilians. He could have gone further and stated that Osama bin Laden and others who advocate terrorism are bad Muslims. Titus Steenhuisen, Upper Moutere, New Zealand...
...Crusader Crashes All the psychoanalyzing about what drove former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer to risk his career by conducting illegal extramarital entanglements seems pointless [March 24]. I doubt such urges in elected officials are different from those of ordinary people who engage in such risky behavior. My heart goes out to Spitzer's family, who have to endure publicly what others suffer privately. Nadia El-Badry, Dobbs Ferry, New York...
...Modernizing Morality Nancy Gibbs nicely delineated the different kinds of sins that plague our society [March 24]. Believers and nonbelievers have a moral duty to do what is right, an obligation that stems not wholly from religion but more from a universal moral law. There is a higher voice that speaks to all of us every time we commit a deed that is contrary to our place in the world. Why not do the best we can while we are here on earth? John J. Pino, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania...
...There a Doctor in the House? I was pleased to see the article examining Hillary Clinton's role in her husband's Administration [March 24]. A brain surgeon's wife doesn't become a brain surgeon by watching her husband operate, even if she was the nurse handing him the scalpel. Clinton may have more knowledge than Barack Obama because she has been in the operating room, but I'm not certain I'd want her handling the scalpel. David Wilson, Carson, California...
...Obama's Abstractions While everybody has been gasping in admiration of Barack Obama, I have been trying to find out what his policies are [March 17]. His website and his speeches and interviews contain much fine rhetoric, but so far I have found a total of zero realistic policies. Change is a fine slogan, but for the most powerful position in the Western world we need more than slogans. We need realistic policies. Until Obama can provide them, he doesn't deserve to be President. Neil Wagstaff, Ashwood, Victoria
