It's nearly impossible not to grasp at all the easy “if-onlies” when a tragedy happens like the shootings in Littleton, Colo. last week.

This has been a tragic week for our nation. Not only is the air strike against Serbia continuing in the Balkans, but within our own borders, a war was waged upon the students and families of Littleton, Colo.

I am the president of a morning breakfast club that meets at Arby's in Peachtree City about once a week. There's not a meeting calendar, a membership fee, or even a membership, actually. I am the only one in the organization so far. It's a great club.

 

Letters to the Editor

Teacher showed morbid lack of judgement about Colorado shootings

As parents in a community not unlike that of Littleton, Colo., we have reeled in the wake of yet another violent tragedy in our schools.

Where's the missing Indian money?

Another horrifying tragedy at a public school and so many questions with very few answers. I believe it is time to institute change and mandate a safe learning environment for our children.

We're all to blame for Colo. school shootings

“Who is to blame?”

 

Federal laws favor 'rights' of violent kids over those of peaceful students

I wish that I could say I was surprised by the shootings that occurred in Columbine High School in Colorado.

 

What should teaching look like? It depends...

Neither NATO nor Bill Clinton will ever force peace in Balkans

It is appalling to watch this pathetic administration attempt to rebuild a tarnished presidential legacy by attacking a sovereign country, Yugoslavia, with a formerly defensive alliance, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). NATO was formed to protect member nations from aggression by a nonmember country, specifically, the former Soviet Union.
