Low morale caused by serving for years
In his column ("Liberals wrong for blaming terrorism on America," July 26), Mr. Springer's argument of defining liberal thought and generalizing the two bipartisan parties is ignorant and inherently embarrassing to any reader, liberal or conservative. The first appellation inconceivably exercised is when Springer attempts to define how liberals think. He argues that many of us make brash, uninformed judgments unfairly directed to his conservative comrades. However, if Mr. Springer would open his eyes, he would see that this argument is inconclusively generalized. For example, I have conservative friends and relatives who are appalled at the war, death and destruction that occur overseas. Not all conservatives are as inhumane as Mr. Springer portrays them in his brash rant. Mr. Springer again attempts to justify our troops' low morale mainly on negative comments that sprout from liberal mouths. Maybe our soldiers' darkened morale develops after almost two and a half years of witnessing thousands of their comrades shot down, blown up and ambushed in a war that may have been avoided. Our troops witnessed more than 25,000 civilian and resident deaths -- human beings that Springer passes off as people who live for "no conceivable cause." I believe that witnessing innocent people die, both Iraqis and Americans, would contribute more to our soldiers' low morale than the so-called comments that flow from the mouths of American liberals thousands of miles away. Wars and their consequences are not simply caused by conservative actions and unprecedented liberal thought. Wars are caused by the same ignorance and unfair generalizations about people who are different than the uninformed individual who dares condemn them. Margo Brown
