My published LTE to the NY Times today:
"To the Editor:

David Brooks fails to acknowledge the consequences of staying in a war that most Americans realize we were misled into fighting: a bankrupt nation, further American deaths and a broken military because people like him and President Bush and right-wing radio talk show hosts, all of whom want us to stay in Iraq, are unwilling to enlist or encourage their children to go fight the war they so strongly support."

They printed 13 letters in response to Brooks' nonsense yesterday. I'm glad they printed mine and I hope Hannity/Limbaugh see themselves in the right wing radio nuts who won't enlist.

1. Many congratulations!

The NYT prints a *tiny* fraction of the letters they receive.

3. Well done. It's amazing that the Pub voters aren't showing up at the
recruitment offices in droves. All talk. No action.

9. Great job! What were the other 12 letters? For or against?
Usually the ratio is a pretty good indicator of how their readers feel.
