I read with sadness the sentiment of an American Marine captain at being delighted that people in Indonesia are much nicer to him than they are in Iraq (Jan. 11). I may well be behind the times. Is it no longer axiomatic that handing out food and candy to devastated children engenders a different response than laying waste to a country in the name of democracy?
