The title I sent was
Four more years of Fallujah, and they also edited the text. Here's the link to the online version, followed by my original letter (the actual print version wasn't edited as much as the online):

While we hammer Fallujah the insurgents strike elewhere, and they show no signs of giving up their fight. We have brought more death and destruction to Iraq than freedom and democracy. This is entirely the fault of the Bush administration. They charged into Iraq without enough troops to secure Saddam's stockpiles of munitions and without a realistic plan for conducting a successful nation building operation. They rejected the advice of general Shinseki and State Department professioanls, and now our troops are paying for it with their lives. President Bush admits no mistake and is determined to stay the course, which means four more years of faith-based foreign policy that wreaks havoc in the real world.
