  I am not going to comment on David M. Wallace' personal opinions about Senate Majority Leader Reid. He is entitled to them. But, for Hal R. Dixon's letter, I do have a short and not so sweet comment to make. Apparently, Mr. Dixon has a very short or highly selective memory of the Bush years. There were very few areas where it could be definitely argued that GW had a gung ho “cowboy” attitude in foreign policy. In all other circumstances, he changed not one iota of world dynamics and left oppressive dictatorships securely in place. His role in Iraq was less about removing a brutal dictatorship and replacing it with a dicey gvt that continues to require our help to even stay alive than showing how he could one upmanship his own father. That's ego, not foreign policy.

  As for Antone Ornellas, as a veteran who served in Germany during the Cold War and a committed anti-Communist/anti-Socialist; Ornellas most certainly does love to fling wildly around one of two such labels. Point one: The fact that people can go to the polls and freely vote for the candidate of their choice proves this country isn't anywhere near the “communist state” that Ornellas wants to characterize it as. The fact that there can be these “TEA Party” protests also proves that we aren't living in a dictatorship even with the election of Barack H. Obama. Mr. Ornellas should have seen what I did when I visited the 1K zone that separated the two halves of Germany. Communism was a prison that people died trying to escape. Here, Ornellas can fling these labels wildly about WITHOUT the fear of going to prison. Yet one more carping individual who doesn't appreciate what he's got.
