EMMET Dunphy’s flawed analysis of the situation in Georgia (Letters, August 13), and his consequent petty attempts to take a swipe at anti-war activists, should not pass unchallenged.

IN his letter (August 11) suggesting that Israel had the right to attack Iran, John Fitzgerald should have quoted directly from the proverbs: “The people of Israel have sown the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind.”

I AGREE it’s a little unfair to give one person all the public credit, but it’s conventional shorthand in science to attribute foundation ideas to the main originator.
