Re: “The Moral Debate on Iraq,” Sep. 3.

For many months, I’ve been growing increasingly suspicious of President Bush’s motives and alarmed at what seems to be a very ham-handed approach to most issues. Your commentary on the Iraqi situation made me think twice. The clarity — and even more, the respectfulness — with which you presented the “long-term” viewpoint has convinced me to hold my judgment until we know more of the facts about Saddam’s war-making capabilities. I hope the President listens to Tony Blair’s suggestion that these facts be made public soon. I applaud your balance. It helped me regain mine.
