...Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Democrat or Republican. But the world's challenges are not black and white. Despite what the Bush Administration maintains, the war in Iraq has nothing to do with freedom. The U.S. invasion was based on lies. There were real geopolitical and business motives for overthrowing Saddam Hussein. H. Christian Eggenberger Platja d'Aro, Spain Accountability for Sudan Simon Robinson's report "Nowhere to Hide" [July 5], on the humanitarian crisis and the genocidal atrocities affecting the Darfurians, non-Arab blacks of Sudan's Darfur region, left me disgusted. I'm convinced that our world is doomed...
...Despots, Old and New Re Michael Byers' viewpoint "Dictators in the Dock" [July 19], why can't we punish Saddam and let him live, provided he agrees to cooperate with the new Iraqi government?

Saddam's terror against his own people brought death to many thousands of Iraqis, and the longer he remained in power, the more...
...FEEL MISLED BY THE PREWAR INTELLIGENCE ASSERTING THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION (WMD) AND LINKS TO AL-QAEDA? I do not feel misled at all. Actually, I'm very thankful that he didn't have the WMD. What would you have had us do? Stand by and wait until he did have them? I do believe there were assets inside the Saddam regime who were working with international terrorists, and I believe that al-Qaeda were among them...
