Madam, - As Kevin Myers rightly points out (An Irishman's Diary, May 15th), the grim discovery of over 2,000 human remains at a mass grave near Hillah is further proof of the barbarism of Saddam Hussein's rule.
But where are all the missing weapons of mass destruction, which we were repeatedly assured by US President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair were the sole basis for what Kevin Myers described as the "terrible war" in Iraq? Now we have seen and heard the media reports from Hillah, reminding us of the horrors of Nazi Germany and the former Yugoslavia, should we sit back contentedly and subscribe to the maxim that oil's well that ends well? - Yours, etc.,
MICHAEL CULLEN, Albert Park, Sandycove, Co Dublin.
