Dear Mr. Moore,
First I'd like to just say how much I enjoyed your TV series in the late 1970s. How's Rhoda? Do you two still keep in touch? And that Ted guy! What was he on, huh? LOL
As for your concern about our impending military action against Iraq, I would like to answer your points one by one.
1. I took your advice and walked out of the White House to try and find five people who are PASSIONATE about wanting to kill Iraqis. It wasn't a fair test, as the only people on Pennsylvania Avenue at that hour were taxi drivers. But I'll try again tomorrow.
2. I agree that bombing Iraq may not make any of our economic problems go away, but neither will throwing rocks at Colin Powell. I know, I tried.
3. I'm not sure if the "whole world" is against me. Spain and England and the, whatayacallits, the people from Eastern Europe, the Transylvanians, they're with me. And just yesterday Australia said they'd help, and they're tough because they're all descended from criminals.
4. I know the Pope said that this war is a sin, but he's not the boss of me.
5. It's true that "of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Johnson of South Dakota) has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed forces!" But it's also true that only one or two are black. Does that mean we shouldn't try to stop Affirmative Action? I think not.
6. I have not forgotten that France gave us the Statue of Liberty and helped us out in the Revolutionary War. I didn't know, however, that the French invented movies. That's cool. Thanks! Now I've got one for you. Did you know that Texas is actually a whole country all by itself? It's true! Okay, now you ask me one.
In conclusion I'd just like to say that only in America can such an intelligent exchange of ideas take place between the leaders and the ordinary everyday people like yourself. Thank you.
And say hello to Murray!
Sincerely,
George W. Bush
President
