Mr. Pocklington never ceases to amaze me.

He recommends we can visit the DOD website (It’s not all bad in Iraq – Oct. 11) for verifiable facts about all the marvelous things happening in Iraq, like the schools being built, renovated, rehabilitated, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum. Who does he think caused them to have to be built, renovated, rehabilitated?

How many have we destroyed with our over 12 years of bombing that poor country into smithereens.

And universities, colleges, research centers?

Who do you think built them in the first place … us?

Come on Pocklington, stop being so naive.

If you would dare to read some alternative media and not the government/mainstream media propaganda all the time, you might find out some real facts about Iraq.

Check into www.antiwar.com

for a few weeks and learn something really new.
