Sir, - How many civilians have to be killed in Afghanistan before Ireland considers having a national day of mourning?
How many Afghan people have to be burned, blasted and crushed to death before we are sufficiently shocked to call for an end to the horror?
Having bombed homes, villages, UN buildings, Red Cross buildings and a hospital, just what would the United States forces have to do before their monstrous campaign was condemned by all who expressed outrage after the attacks in New York? - Yours, etc.,
Paul Carroll, Dublin 2.
