Letter: US reaction to Saddam

Thanks to Joan Smith for the observation on the reactions of the US to Saddam Hussein. Yes, indeed - what about Indonesia and Israel, who have ignored UN resolutions? Since Labour came to power, 11 arms contracts have been secretly signed with Indonesian dictatorships alone, among them is the contract to send 16 Hawk jets. It was Einstein who said: "Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding."
