Letter the N.Y.Times will probably not print

When Mr. Cheney says, "We will succeed in this mission, and when it is concluded, we will be a safer nation,” he and the administration continue to show themselves unaware of a simple truth: we simply have not and will not despite the tremendous loss of humanity and the depletion of our treasury succeed in this endeavor, not now not ever. It is time for the American public to join with our recently awakened congress and ask Mr. Cheney and company to explain HOW we are to succeed and most important HOW “we will be a safer nation”. The time for just insinuating these proclamations are true “just because we say so” is past.
