Margery K. English of Apple Valley demonstrates what a clueless ignoramus she is in a letter to the editor published in the August 30 Star Tribune.

She writes: "Has there been another attack of insurgents on U.S. soil since 9/11?" and claims that justifies our war in Iraq.

Since there were no attacks on U.S. soil by Iraqi insurgents for the 225 years prior to 9/11, I guess the war in Iraq is having no effect at all. Actually, since there has never been an attack on U.S. soil by Iraqi insurgents, including on 9/11, it just demonstrates what a complete idiot English is. Unfortunately, such stupidity appears to be common among supporters of the war in Iraq.
