al-Zarqawi, Bill Henley Dine At ContinentalA letter in today’s Daily News:
I can’t help but agree with the Barbaro comment, though I suspect Mr. Barberra is just upset his name is close to that damn horse’s (and also that he didn’t invent Huckleberry Hound). As for the other point he makes, I have to disagree on that one. I mean, didn’t he see Dan Gross’ latest column?

Why do you morons refer to Barbaro as that damned horse. His contributions to the world of horse racing and equine medicine, plus the inspiration he has instilled in humans is enormous. As Seabiscuit did for a nation in the grip of the great depression, Barbaro has done for a nation in the grip of a war, economic depression, and terrorism. He gave us something to cling to, to grasp, to help future horses and other animals. Does it get any better. Animals offer so much more to the world, in so many ways, than humans do. They’re loyal, devoted, and just want to please. All they ask in return is kindness and caring and they’ll give you the world in return. I thank God for bestowing on us the likes of a Seabiscuit, and a Barbaro; including Ruffian, Lost in the Fog, Pine Island, Mending Fences and so many others. Thanks guys (and gals) for all you accomplished, and the pleasure and thrills you gave us. RIP all of you.
