Letter: Bring U.S. troops home to protect our borders
I'm from a military family going back to World War I, losing family members who served, as many did.
Instead of warring overseas to the tune of American lives and billions spent, I suggest:
1. Bring our troops home to protect our borders so that families feel safe here.
2. Use the warmongering billions to reinstate a stable economic balance for the millions of Americans who suffer in poverty, loss of homes, farms, health aid and, most of all, their self-esteem and pride.
Letter: Check your history: 'Liberal' is a worthy title
overall, our greatest presidents have been liberals (Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Clinton - and it's not my job or anyone else's to judge personal mistakes; ask any bona fide mainstream Christian theologian).

...Sims then goes on to criticize the “cut and run” approach of the Democrats to solving the terrorism problem in Iraq. Was there a terrorist problem in Iraq prior to the U.S.-led invasion? Didn't 9/11 happen on Mr. Bush's watch? For the record, there are Republicans and Democrats who want to bring the troops home. If the politicians who want to bring our troops home for their safety are to be attacked for that policy, should we then argue that the politicians and citizens who want to keep them in Iraq be called killers for wanting to keep them in harm's way? What in the world has happened to political discourse in this country?
Perhaps the problem with politics in America today is not so much corrupt leaders like Conrad Burns and George Bush, but rather the people who elect them.

...or we are just opening the door to an even more fascist government. Most democracies have lasted less than 200 years. I don’t feel ours is secure any more.

Senator is a bronze medal winner
Burns' campaign manager, Eric Iverson, said the senator is not under investigation by the Justice Department. Burns knows he is under investigation, and so does Montana. If you want the facts, go to Time.com dated Sept. 15, 2006. The title of the story is "Who is the next target in the Abramoff probe." It's time to show the nation that we the people of Montana put the truth above all things.
