On your 59th Birthday - short wishes

Dear George: Tony Blair has taken world flak for you on the Iraq war. Now Mr. Blair needs your support with global warming. Step up, Mr. Bush, and treat a friend like a friend. Support the world-recognized need to decrease global warming, and stand by your true ally, Tony Blair.

• Betsy, Age 44, Mesa, AZ

Mr. President: Happy Birthday. Keep up the good effort. You are right on track. Bless you for all of your hard work.

• Caryl, Age 73, California

Dear George: As of late you have received stacks of letters asking you to comment on topics such as the Downing street memo and Karl Rove's outing of a CIA operative! You and your administration have ignored each one! Mr. President, We the people, want an answer!

• Peter, Age 50, New York

Dear George: I am a direct decedent of John Penn who signed the Declaration of Independence. I Love this country -- it is the hope of the world. I voted for you twice and proud that I did. I know that you will be remembered as a great American and a great President. It is obvious to me that you have a vision (as President Reagan had) for America as the leader of the free world. God Bless you, Mr. President. And God Bless America.

• Patricia, Age 74, Los Angeles, CA

Dear George: Unfortunately, you won the stupid election. Well, I'll have fun watching our economy hit rock bottom. Hope you do a lot better this time. And do more than just sit on your a$$ this time.

• Maetchen, Age 12, Cincinnati, OH

Dear George: I can't help wondering if there has ever before you been a man who so well, through his actions, has managed to show the world what the expression "ignorance is bliss" really means? I highly doubt that it has.

• Christina, Age 30, Norrkoping, Sweden

Dear George: I agree with the war on terror in Iraq. I urge you to turn more over to our military leaders and do whatever it takes to achieve victory now. This country can not survive another Vietnam. God Bless you and these United States.
