Explosions Amid Crowds of Shiite Pilgrims in Iraq Kill at Least 27 and Wound Scores

To the Editor:

I find it very interesting than an American made newspaper would claim that "American officials and the United Nations have played a crucial role in trying to solve the complicated dispute over the candidacies." Who are we to say that our way is best? Why is it somehow sickly American to jump on to other people's soil and tell them how to run their country. In the same debate as to which god is the real one or not, each person can have their own belief system. There are pagans, Christians, Satanists, Muslims and all other sorts. Each person is allowed to believe in their own god. So why is this not the same with government? Why is the American way the only "correct" one? In many cultures, war is the best way of deciding leaders. The strong will always prevail. We cannot justify demeaning another culture because of our disagreement. The American way has worked well for some, but it will never work for all, and the more we claim to have the best way the more other countries and political nations will realize that our bold claim has little merit.
