Questions emerge from Napa's littered waterways


For war on terrorism, against Iraq war

On Sept. 24, a group of Napans will march in Washington D.C., urging our government to begin steps now to stop the war in Iraq. Although our banner will read "Make Wine, not War," make no mistake. We are firmly committed to the war against terrorism. We are just tired of being misled by a president who insists that the war he has mounted in Iraq is a response to Osama bin Laden and the terrorist cells he has fueled throughout the world. In fact, our president has weakened our defenses and strengthened the terrorist network by diverting the attention and military power needed to fight the real enemy, choosing instead to mislead this country into following his command into one of the greatest and most costly fiascoes of all time. This at a time when this country's own infrastructure, schools, health care for its citizens and federal and state emergency responses, as witnessed by the recent tragic events in New Orleans, are at a dangerous low.
