Dear Mr President,

The way you and your close colleagues and supporters seem so over keen to launch into an all-out war worries me a lot.

I truly hope the Iraqi problem can (somehow?) be resolved without anybody being killed or seriously injured.

For me, this is particularly true in the case of the very young Iraqi children who (as I see it) are   COMPLETELY  INNOCENT  of all wrong doing.

Sincerely,

William Finnerty.

Thank you for emailing Vice President Cheney.  Your ideas and comments are very important to him.

Unfortunately, because of the large volume of email received, the Vice President cannot personally respond to each message. However, the White House staff considers and reports citizen ideas and concerns.

Again, thank you for your email.  Your interest in the work of Vice President Cheney and the administration is appreciated.

Sincerely,

The White House Office of E-Correspondence
