A letter concerning George W. Bush and the Iraq War

from: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200910/bush-torture#

The article from the website listed above are open letters to George W. Bush in hope that he will do something against the consequences of the Iraq War. A lot of Americans do not agree with the president's action and behaviour and are disappointed. After the revelations of Abu Ghraib (in 2004), Bush told al - Hurra, the U.S. - sponsored Arabic television station: " 'This is not America. America is a country of justice and law and freedom and treating people with respect.' " Bush said: " 'The people of Iraq must understand that I view those practices as abhorrent.' "
In the end of the first letter the author mentions his aim that she/he wants to achieve: ''The point of this letter, Mr. President, is to beg you to finally take responsibility for this stain on American honor and this burden on a war we must win.''
With this letter he asks him ''to stop blaming others for the consequences of decisions" he made.

I can understand the disappointment and the disagreement with Bush's actions. In my opinion we have the right to tell people our opinions, agreements and disagreements, if we do it in a friendly way. I really like the idea of writing a letter to him and I hope that these people can achieve something, although they cannot really influence his action. I do not like wars at all and I am sure nobody really likes them. Everybody can find a way to behave, to react and to act without fighting and even killing other people, who maybe do not have anything to do with the war. If one people is affected and gets hurt, other people (e.g. family) are hurt at the same time, too.
