THE television companies are wrong to show so much of the war with Iraq.

War is a very serious business and no way should we be watching it as if it was a war game.

Many people on all sides are being killed, injured and traumatised and many lives ruined for ever.

The televising of this war should be sporadic and the only when necessary.

Saddam Hussein was a danger to the world and a tyrant to his own people, but I am sure he could have been removed from power without all the suffering that a full-scale war has brought.
