Al-Qaida is the real threat — not US

THE blatant anti-Americanism in some of the letters you’ve published in recent week is simply ridiculous.

I am no Bush supporter and I realise there is much wrong with the US political system, but despite the shortcomings I support the US role in Iraq because I feel it will ultimately help anyone at risk from terrorism.

The US is not the biggest threat to world peace — al-Qaida is. It’s absurd to blame the US for al-Qaida atrocities. These terrorists are insane and only use the US as an excuse to injure, kill and torture innocent people just because they don’t fit into their warped view of racial and religious superiority.
