This letter saddens me. Orson Scott Card was one of my favorite authors, but after reading this, he no longer is. Sadly, he’s bought the propaganda that the neo-conservatives have been spreading. Unlike more rational viewpoints, Mr. Card asserts the United States is having a stabilizing impact in Iraq.

STOP LOSING in Iraq

It is plain and clear that American soldiers in Iraq are receiving countless attacks from the insurgency on a daily basis. More than fifty-thousand soldiers have been wounded. More than three thousand soldiers have been killed. It is also plain that the violence is strengthening. The quagmire in Iraq has turned into an actual civil war. Much less than being welcomed as liberators, we are reviled as an occupation force--an agent for evil. Nobody willing to see reality can contest any of this. It has been more than four years. What do we have to show for it?
