Look again at the true target of US invasion

TRUTH may be the first casualty of war, but it just as surely falls victim to the slings and arrows of Edward Horgan’s Peace and Neutrality Alliance (Irish Examiner letters, Jan 28).

Look again at the true target of US invasion

Not a single Iraqi civilian was targeted by coalition forces, unless you include the ace of spades (Saddam) and his two sons who are the real brutes with blood on their hands. Many of those who continue to sabotage the peace do indeed wear civilian dress but are warriors in every other sense.

Mr Horgan’s warriors could profitably examine their consciences before trying to label Irish people as complicit in any action which bears even the remotest resemblance to Joseph Stalin’s brutal regime in Russia, or the extermination camps known as Gulags which also terrorised its own people.
