Editor Kansas City Star,

My grandpa told me to expect to get stung if I beat on a hornets nest with a stick. President Bush is beating on the Middle East hornets nest with his occupation of Iraq. He declared the mission accomplished.
We won the War. So why is he keeping our men and women in harms way?
Why did he ship billions of our tax dollars on pallets to Iraq? Where did all the shrink wrapped bundles of $100 bills go? When will there be an accounting? It is plain to me that this occupation is about the money. It a moral disgrace to spill the blood of patriots so that moneyed interests can reap a windfall. War profiteering was considered 'treasons' by Harry Truman who my grandpa was proud to have voted for.
