To the Editor:
   If the U.S. has helped establish a free a sovereign government in Iraq as we so proudly claim, surely mr. Daqduq is their problem. If the government in Baghdad is a U.S. puppet regime, surely we can take him.  A problem only arises when we try to claim that the regime in Baghdad is sovereign, but treat it like our puppet. It's not easy being an empire.
