OpinionJournal’s Best of the Web points out a remarkably silly letter to a newspaper editor:
Why They Hate Us
. . . [C]heck out this letter to the editor of the Portland (Maine) Press-Herald from one Florence White (last letter):
Am I the only one who finds the idea of sending candy to Iraqi children not only not brilliant but insensitive, offensive and stupid (“Kids offered sweet deal on candy,” Oct. 29)?
The candy is not good for our children’s teeth but OK for kids who probably have no access to dentistry?
Can you catch just a glimmer of why Americans are so hated in other parts of the world?
Maybe the Iraqis would like us if we forced them all to go to the dentist.
