Madam, - Martin Moran (March 16th) might reflect a little more on his musings, in the hope that he does not upend his own arguments.
As he proudly proclaims his right-wing credentials, he should remember some of those outstanding examples of his "side" who espoused their own versions of liberty, fraternity and democracy, such as Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Pinochet, etc., not to mention the many bombing and murder campaigns to bring democracy and the Western way of life to people in the non-Western world, whether they wanted it or not. - Yours, etc.,
PATRICK SHINE, Cathedral Road, Cork.
