  Regarding the letter you send before you were born...since when does Newsweek print from the meta-physical world? The editors are known meta-physicists! Thank you for breaking that barrier!

  When I picked up the Colbert issue, I knew i would probably be laughing, but I had no idea I would also be crying as i read the articles. As the wife of a soldier, I drew the parallel between our lives and this issue. At times there are great joys to be had, such as the feeling of you husband in your arms again after a year away, or watching my strong, brave husband come to tears as he watches our girls play, because he knows just how precious those moments are. But there are also tears when it is time to say goodbye, fear that it might be for the last time, sorrow over the breakup of a friend's marriage after a 3rd deployment. This issue captured both the amusing aspects of life, while also illuminating the sorrow and pain that comes with being a part of the military. Thank you, Sir Dr. Stephen for your contributions!

  Dear, Sir Dr. Stephen,
  When you do your in depth article on the Iranian hostages, please remember one thing. It was, indeed Jan 20th, of that year, the very day of Ronald Reagan's inauguration, that the hostages were released. Once again that great man was behind the scenes, before he was officially president, making miracles happen. Also, would you consider doing an investigative piece, on why Ronald Reagan is not yet on Mount Rushmore?
  
  Why can't we find another leader [CHOKING UP HERE] with his vast wisdom, intellect and diplomatic skills? Hope you are thinking of taking another run at it in 20012!
  
  Sincerely,
  Just Another Humble American
