Oil, Israel and Lies

To the editor, The Oregonian:

President Bush has just accused citizens who "claim that we acted in Iraq because of oil, Israel or because we misled the American people" of being "dishonest."

If we think about it, Bush is slandering the great majority of the American people. How many of us actually think we would have invaded Iraq if it (1) lacked oil (2) if the US did not support Israel or (3) if Bush had not misled Congress, the media and the public into believing that Iraq was a serious threat to this country?
