Dear Editor:

The terrorists have destroyed our World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001. They have attacked the U.S.S. Cole and Americans in our country and all over the world. They will not stop until we become a Muslim nation with women as fourth class citizens. The terrorists believe that women should make babies and serve as homemakers. When a woman works outside the home, she must give all of her income to her husband for his use. This is not the Ameri- can way and we must not let it happen in the United states of America.

The terrorists will stop at nothing to get what they want. To stop them our troops must stay in Iraq until the terrorists are defeated. There is no substitute for a free Iraq where terrorism is controlled and eliminated. There is no substitute for total victory. Ernest A. Howell Massapequa
