Dear President Bush, Your rhetoric calls for us to empathize with people we have differences with. I wish you would put yourself in the shoes of those who are most unfavorable impacted by your policies. And then I wish you would act out of empathy toward those you have marginalized or oppressed. I hope you're able to do this before you leave office so the legacy you leave behind will be something other than the devastation you have wreaked, Sincerely, Anne Beffel New York City-Syracuse
