A recent letter to the Times:
There's been a great deal of talk recently about the closing of military bases all over the country. The closing of these bases, it is said, will save about 5.5 billion dollars per year. Since the majority of al-Qaeda operatives captured recently were found in Afghanistan and Pakistan (not Iraq), doesn't it make sense to eliminate our presence in Iraq which has already cost the U.S. 170 billion dollars and over 1,500 American lives? Isn't the purpose of the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, after all, to fight terrorism? Or is our mission now to kill everyone who disagrees with us?
