Sir,- Our latest international military exchange is redolent of the Gulf War which preoccupied the world a decade ago.
One wonders if history will repeat itself. Will millions of innocents be displaced and punished? Will civilian infrastructure be destroyed? Will economic sanctions bleed the country dry? And, most importantly, will the perpetrators and antagonisers still be in power, without reprimand or retribution, without loss of their own power, or significant deterioration in their military capacity, in 10 years' time? - Yours, etc.,
Eamonn S. O'Flaharta, Jardin Drive, Loughrea, Co Galway.
