To the Editor:

I am writing U.S. Rep. John Murtha this letter seeking information about a statement President Bush made on television. This statement was made when he first went to war in Iraq.

The statement was he went to war because of weapons of mass destruction and because of "what he tried to do to my dad."

I have heard Murtha repeat there were no weapons of mass destruction, but he never addressed the latter part of Bush's statement.

So was this a war of necessity, opportunity or revenge.

I would like to hear someone ask the president if it is worth the lives he is sacrificing to settle a grudge.
