Oddly enough, I found Joel Stein's essay on horsemeat to be refreshing [Feb. 19]. I love horses and have been hoping for the passage of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention bill. But why is it acceptable to eat cows, goats and chickens and not horses? There are no rational reasons, only sentimental ones. I'm not about to go out and buy horsemeat, nor will I end my support of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention bill. But I'm going to stop judging those who do eat horse and don't support the legislation. Thanks, Mr. Stein...
...those who follow Iraq from afar, the daily stories of sectarian slaughter are perplexing. Why are the Shi'ites and Sunnis fighting? Why now? There are several explanations for the timing of the outbreak of hostilities, each tied to a particular interpretation of how events unfolded after the fall of Saddam Hussein: flawed American postwar policies, provocation by foreign jihadis, retaliation by militias like al-Sadr's Mahdi Army, the ineptitude of Iraqi politicians and, lately, Iranian interference. But the rage burning in people like Muslawi and Hussein has much deeper and older roots. It is the product of centuries...

Arguinzoniz swears by the complex, marbled meat of retired Galician milk cows, fattened for slaughter until they resemble Kobe beef but with richer flavor, and seared to an incredible blackened crust. Forget delicacy and sophistication - this is simply the best steak ever...
...cause actually was worthy in purpose: to liberate a country from a dictator, perhaps to find and destroy some dangerous weapons, and more recently to stop the chaos and slaughter that we have unbottled in Iraq. Some war critics don't wish to give Bush this much credit. But none of the ulterior motives sometimes attributed to the President make any sense. His intentions were noble, however na?ve and pigheaded. But the war was a horrible mistake. And as everyone comes to realize it was a mistake, continuing it becomes something much worse than a mistake...
...editors: Re: “Drop The Stock,” editorial, Jan. 12. Investments are complicated but the tragedy of the ongoing slaughter in Sudan is not. Tough economic pressure is a powerful and important way to exert pressure and bring the killing to an end. The best solution would be for Harvard to hold Barclay’s responsible and remove all investments from them for their irresponsible investing. CHRISTY DAY ’71 Amherst...
