I’m writing in response to Paul Goodman’s opinion letter titled “Bush’s crimes call for impeachment” from April 9.

What a classic example you’ve given us Paul, of another Bush hater, caught up in the winds of negative politics, who still can’t get over a presidential vote that happened years ago. Thanks for the lesson on how to impeach, but in your essay you didn’t even manage to give the slightest reason as to why we should impeach President Bush. If you could leave the last election and move ahead to the present, I think you’d find that impeaching our current president is an unfounded and groundless idea.

At this very moment, the United States is freeing a little country over on the other side of the Earth called Iraq. Millions would love to thank our president personally for making the decision to free them from the grip of an oppressive leadership, and you are suggesting that we impeach the figurehead of the great nation who’s provided such a service?

You seem to suggest that spending $75 billion isn’t worth freeing 25 million people. How dare you put a price on freedom! It is our duty as a world superpower to stop demented leaders like Hitler and Hussein and preserve the human rights of others.

Quit living in the past and open your eyes to what is in front of you like most of us have. We live in the greatest, most powerful country in the world, led by a courageous commander in chief who has the guts and heart to free 25 million people. I’ve never been prouder then I am now to say, “Thank God I’m an American.”
