People who write letters to the New York Times

Before I upset my stomach by reading Paul Krugman's article, here's a letter to the editor:

To the Editor:
Re "How the 'Radicals' Can Save the Democrats," by Sam Tanenhaus (Op-Ed, Aug. 11):
Many of us haven't gotten over the theft of the White House in 2000. The Democrats in office thought that they could just go along with the war in Iraq and make it go away. Now we are spending almost $4 billion a month there that could be spent here on roads, schools, technology, local police and, most important, protecting our borders and coasts.
I knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction, and now the Democratic politicians act like foolish schoolchildren, claiming that they were tricked. They have allowed President Bush to saddle our future generations with astronomical debt.
Is it any wonder we are enamored of Howard Dean, a fresh face in the crowd?

Oh Kathy, Kathy, Kathy. Why didn't you tell us there were no weapons of mass destruction?
