I have a jpg file of his criminal reply. Can someone offer to put it on a server for me so I can post a link to it? If so, PM your email address to me.

Senator Coleman,

Well, with regard to the United States' illegal and immoral aggression in Iraq, the water seems to be over the dam, the horse out of the barn, and the cat out of the bag. We are stuck there until we "win" the war.

So now my request is that the Senate get out of their money-driven power mode and rebuild Iraq like our country's livelihood depended on. Greed, graft and corruption, and even any perception of greed, graft or corruption, must be minimized. I realize this will be difficult - given all the greed, graft, corruption in US corporations (e.g. Enron, Adelphia, Tyco, Arthur Anderson, etc.) - and in US politics (i.e., money for favors, e.g., please consider how much money you have accepted from the drug industry, and if this is affecting your consideration of adding prescription drug coverage to Medicare, which is a sure budget-buster, but a huge boon to the drug companies).

If the business of rebuilding Iraq ends up looking anything like business in the U.S., we will lose our last chance to recover our sorely damaged reputation in the eyes of the world.

Regards,
