Liberals hate America. That is exactly what you would think if you blindly read Andrew Criado's column ("Mounting evidence proves Iraq's connection to al Qaeda, despite liberals' denials," Nov. 20).

Instead of being informative, his column ended up being filled with contradictions and gross generalizations about liberals in America. One lesson Criado needs to learn is that attacking part of your audience is not an effective way of communicating, unless you are applying for a job at Fox News.

Criado says, "Liberals think that we should completely withdraw our troops from overseas," when in fact only one of the nine Democratic presidential candidates, Rep. Dennis Kucinich D-Ohio, has said he would do so if he was president.

Criado completely lies when he says, "Clinton refused offers by the Sudan to hand over Bin Laden." In fact, former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger wrote an article that the offer came from an unreliable investment banker in Sudan, not the Sudanese government.

Criado later states, "Liberals will have an even tougher time proving that they aren't anti-American now that they are on record as opposing a war against a murdering, raping, mass-grave-filling, weapons-of-mass-destruction-producing regime." Two paragraphs later he says, "Both campaigns were predicated on the goal of eliminating terrorism."

How can liberals be against a war to save the Iraqi people when the war was primarily engaged to eliminate terrorism?

I can only hope that the readers of his column don't really believe that liberals have "stooped so low as to align their opinions with those of murdering terrorists."
