CAN'T Parliament do something to halt the march to war?
While Blair's arguments become increasingly feeble, the rhetoric gets more strident. The ploy now, obviously, is to create a climate of fear in which war seems a reasonable response. But the threat of war makes terrorism more likely and, while terrorism is never justified, we are making it inevitable.
War may be an academic matter to Parliament, but for 12 million Iraqi children it is a matter of life and death. I don't want my country's soldiers, or my tax money, being used for killing people in a war which nobody except George Bush believes will solve anything.
We were promised a debate on January 23 but it didn't happen. Are we really going to march off to war without even voting on it?
BILL BRISON,
Scott Avenue, Bury.
