Dear TFK...

The Pledge of Allegiance should not be changed ["Pledging Change?" 4/2]. It's okay that Michael Newdow doesn't believe in God, but other people do. The people who don't believe in God just shouldn't say "under God."
--Ashley K., 11
New York

Michael Newdow is right. People shouldn't have to say the pledge if they do not believe in God. The pledge is supposed to represent all Americans, not just those who believe in God.
--Melissa S., 11

I don't think that it's a good idea for the U.S. to hand over political control of Iraq to the Iraqi government so soon ["One Year Later," 4/2]. The country is still very unstable. The U.S. should stay there and help, at least until all the fighting stops.
--Chris N., 10
New Jersey

I've loved collecting things since I was very young ["Kids Take Up Collections," 4/2]. None of my collections are valuable--except for my coin collection--but they hold great memories for me. Even though it takes a lot of time, collecting is fun.
--Robert H., 9
Massachusetts
