Opinion & Editorial — LETTERS TO THE EDITOR — EDITORIAL — OPINION PAGE POLICY Updated Tuesdays: From the Right Side Mike Green The blind leading the deaf and dumb This year, George Bush did what no other president in history has ever done.

When Bush screamed at Congress and the American people that he would fight us all to ensure that Dubai Ports World was able to own the operations of numerous U.S. ports after its purchase of a British company that currently owns such operations, did any of us notice that our president was batting for the visiting team?

Sure you have. You must check out maps and highways and small alternate routes just like anyone else. There is no way everyone on earth could travel on the same road, or believe in exactly the same religion. It would be too crowded, it would be dumb. I don’t believe you want us all to be Muslims.” She is a poet obsessed by roads.
