Who helps us in our time of need?
I heard the governor of Louisiana on the evening news call the Katrina disaster "our tsunami." The disaster is indeed the worst natural disaster in the United States that I have witnessed in my lifetime.David A. McCoy, Hephzibah
Who watched Natalee Holloway?
Since the media have chosen to focus on the Natalee Holloway disappearance in agonizing detail, and dramatic promises of more breaking news by the minute, it seems to me that they've neglected to ask one important question: Molly C. Gray, Aiken, S.C.
Poll didn't show calendar support
On Aug. 28, your lead editorial ("Caution: Do not jump") stated that "a GOP straw poll in 2004 indicated 67 percent support for the current early-start calendar."Hubert van Tuyll, Martinez

Just go home, Cindy Sheehan
It is tragic that Cindy Sheehan's son died in Iraq. What is even more tragic is that Mrs. Sheehan dishonors his name each day that she sits in Crawford, Texas, surrounded by the likes of Al Sharpton and Martin Sheen.Bob Manning, Thomson

Writer's facts don't match reality
In response to Dan Duncan's Aug. 28 letter, "You want facts? Here are the facts": There was a rush to judgment by the chicken hawks in Washington, most of whom never wore a uniform - and serving your time in Alabama during the Vietnam War hardly makes you a qualified leader.Liam McGinley, Aiken, S.C.
