This letter is in response to the Ohman political cartoon that appeared in The Daily Collegian on Monday, Sept. 25.

We are not writing against his political views on the drug "war" in Columbia (or even his views on the Vietnam Conflict), but we are opposed to his comparison of the drug war to the Vietnam Conflict.

His comparison, using the Vietnam Memorial, was done in extremely poor taste, and is insulting and offensive toward Vietnam veterans, the families of veterans, and those who lost their lives in Southeast Asia.

The Vietnam Memorial is a meaningful and sacred monument dedicated to those brave men and women who fought and died for their country. However, the manner in which the Wall was referred to in the cartoon is both degrading and disgraceful.

Furthermore, we are upset that Ohman would show such poor respect for the Vietnam veteran and the Vietnam monument, whether he agreed with the ideologies of the conflict or not.
