Dear Mr President

Dear Mr. President,

Today at the pentagon you said, again, that removing Saddam from Power "was the right thing to do..." I am writing to tell you, again, that you were and are wrong about this. I've been trying to tell you since January of 2002 when I drove all the way from Raleigh, NC to Washington DC and stood on the National Mall in the bitter cold with 20,000 other people. We all came that day to ask that you not invade Iraq. Oh we were young and idealistic to think that we might sway to the opinions and actions of our representative and democratically elected government. Then there was that time that me and 5000 other people gathered in the central square of Raleigh NC in February of 2003. Again you didn't listen. I sent you and Dick Cheney repeated emails explaining why invading Iraq was exactly the wrong thing to do. You didn't listen to me and invaded the country anyway. I will not bother to explain to you another time why this was a mistake -- you can simply go back and read my previous letters. I'll just ask you to admit it was a mistake and that you need help as the first of 12 steps towards healing and fix your horrible errors. Whatever, you suck. Dick sucks too.

Peace,

Conor
