Cutler's Aug. 6 column, "An opportunity for Edwards to lead," is a well thought-out article. However, I believe a politician's position on the drug war is a leading indicator of his character, or lack thereof. This would be a good shot for John Edwards to at least talk about the war over here vs. the war over there. Well, this will not happen because we have a panel of cowards on the Democratic as well as the Republican side. Mr. Cutler nails it with this article. But, as usual, our politicians are useless, worthless, a bunch of cowards and malcontents. Mike Gravel is the only one to bring it up. Well, he probably will not be around much longer. Good luck, America. CLIFFORD WALLACE THORNTON Jr. Hartford - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
