It's easy to criticize Gerald Ford but more important to remember some of his achievements. He took action that led to the signing of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, finally apologizing to Japanese-Americans for their unjust internment during WWII. He not only pardoned Nixon, but also Iva Toguri D'Aquino, a Japanese-American woman who was forced to be Tokyo Rose, an English-language propaganda radio announcer for the Japanese government. She had been tried and convicted of treason by the U.S. government.

Hanging of a Dictator With Saddam Hussein's execution, we once and for all get to see what a huge blunder this war has been ("Death of a Tyrant," Jan. 8). A gang of leather-jacketed, ski-masked thugs--looking more like they were hijacking a plane to Uganda than fulfilling the final sentence handed down by the highest court in Iraq--handled the execution in what looked to be the back alley of a local butcher shop's garbage dump. And our president still desperately attempts to downplay the fact that our policies are creating a world with more suffering, more chaos and more violence. It's time to begin promoting true peace, true justice and true democracy.
