We don’t want troops returning in body bags

ANN CAHILL reports (Irish Examiner, Oct 28) that a majority of those surveyed want our troops sent to Iraq to serve as ‘peacekeepers’.

The survey, carried out in a telephone poll of EU member states, says that over 7,500 people were contacted in Ireland.

I won't argue with that, even if I'm not certain as to the survey's accuracy or authenticity. The EU comes up with some fairly cockeyed conclusions from time to time.
