Re: Sam Hackett’s Nov. 29 letter, “Never, ever surrender�:
Sam, you are the man!
It seems the anti-war folks would have us surrender our superpower status. Who do they hope to see in this position anyway? Oh, “a one-world global family.� Pardon me while I recover from spastic laughter.

Hm. You put "one world global family" in quotes. Who, exactly, are you quoting?
Oh, right- no one. Instead of listening thoughtfully to an opposing view, and trying to understand where we differ and where we agree, and perhaps coming to some reasonable resolution, you invent a fantasy position from a fantasy anti-war voice and argue with htat.
You and your president, at least, seem to agree on the rules of debate. Too bad for the country.
