J PILKINGTON (Letters, February 7) suggests we have an Anti-War Day rather than the Holocaust Day that Tony Blair wants.

Let us go one better, and have a World Day when we all can remember why, in two world wars, almost one hundred million perished.

Maybe then all nations will begin to understand the utter futility of war.
