George needs a drink.

Editor,

George Bush is catastrophizing again about the consequences of dire future "threats" in the Middle East. George needs to mix himself a stiff drink to calm his nerves, step aside, and give calmer leadership an opportunity to resolve diplomatically the various crises there that can be resolved and allow the rest to run their course. To let this coward Bush consign another 20,000 brave American troops and who-knows-how-many innocent Iraqi civilians to suffering and death to assuage his fears is criminal in the extreme. Our scaredy-cat "president" should be removed from office before he destroys our country, the Middle East, and the world entirely.
