LETTER: Gleason needs history lesson
October 9I was interested in the comments on KUNM made by UNM Political Science Professor Gregory Gleason telling of his first hand experience in areas around Afghanistan. However, when he asserted that the United States has "never occupied" foreign lands for purposes of economic profit, I was astounded at his lack of historical perspective.

LETTER: We should support country's retaliation
October 9The Taliban has forced the United States into a very real war, and we need to support and sponsor our country by all means. We observe the reactions about the attacks a number of people support and few do not.

LETTER: Military retaliation in Afghanistan justified
October 9I offer my highest complements to President Bush and his Cabinet. This administration's response to the acts of war committed against us on Sept. 11 has been outstanding. It has been rational, thoughtful and humane. It has my full respect and support. We also owe due credit and thanks to Congress and our allies. I have never been more positively impressed by our federal government - or more proud of it.

`Open Heart' rife with coffeehouse optimism
Andrew Webb | October 9I think there are two types of singer/songwriters - the down on their luck, rough around the edges and sometimes experimental ilk of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Kris Kristofferson, and then at the other extreme, the almost giddy optimism of crooners like John Denver and James Taylor.

LETTER: Awareness of U.S. policy constitutes true patriotism
October 8I find it disturbing what some Americans have come to call "patriotism" in the weeks following the terrorist attacks. These so-called patriots see any criticism of our government and its actions as un-American. They demand unity and an end to free speech.

LETTER: Free speech responsibility
October 8I know we're all getting tired of the Berthold affair, but I think it is important for as many faculty members as possible to go on record in support, not of Professor Berthold, but of the principle that what professors say in their classrooms is protected by the First Amendment. That includes the principle of academic freedom - especially since the Faculty Senate failed to do so unequivocally last Tuesday, though they came close.
