Friday letters: Obama suddenly knows nothing
Much of America rejoiced in 2008 when the sharpest and most intelligent president since Thomas Jefferson was elected. Unlike George W. Bush, whose gentleman’s C’s would highlight his intelligence, we now had a constitutional law school professor.

Friday letters: It’s time to bring our troops home
I believe that fighting World War I and World War II was absolutely necessary to our nation’s security. I do not believe that fighting in Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq or Afghanistan was necessary to the security of our nation.
