Letter to the Times about Iraq

"To the Editor:
Re “As Baghdad Erupts in Riot of Color, Calls to Tone It Down” (news article, May 15): I have rarely seen two more insensitive sentences: “Baghdad has weathered invasion, occupation, sectarian warfare and suicide bombers. But now it faces a new scourge: tastelessness.”  Tastelessness? Horrors.
