Rocky has meant so much to community

I am writing to express my sorrow that the Rocky Mountain News might no longer be part of the fabric of our community. For many years it has served us well, in so many capacities other than just reporting the news.

Charles Krauthammer uninformed apologist for Israeli policy

Krauthammer is mystified by the grievances of Hamas. I would encourage him to do what I encourage other Americans to do: stop blindly swallowing the US position on Israel and become educated on who the real aggressor, occupier, and bully really is.
