Madam, - Tony Allwright (October 18th) sneers at doubters of the US claims of having broken al-Qaeda in Iraq. Aren't such claims rather strange, though, when one considers that there was no al-Qaeda in Iraq prior to the illegal invasion?.
The US has broken, not al-Qaeda in Iraq, but the lives of millions of Iraqis, and now Iraq itself. If this was its goal, then we must accept its claims of success!
- Yours, etc,
