James Coop says that by electing Labour we chose Tony Blair to make important decisions (Letters, 31 January). True, but it was not a blank cheque to disregard the UN Charter and international treaties. The destruction of a state and the killing of more than a million Iraqis is a direct result of a policy pursued by Blair and George Bush. Absence of the Security Council's consent to the attack on Iraq is a further proof that Iraq under Saddam Hussein was not a threat to the whole world. We should remember that Saddam Hussein once was a darling of the West. What changed was his refusal to continue the American agenda in the Middle East, and not the non-existent WMD.

Thank you for giving a voice to teenage mothers ("Promiscuous scroungers or loving parents?", 24 January). I, like thousands of young parents in the 1960s, lost my only child to adoption because I was too vulnerable at this point in my life to protect her. From that moment on, my life lost its purpose, and I have since spoken with countless other natural mothers of adopted people who have suffered the same, who despite their intelligence and abilities have never achieved their potential because of the unconscious acknowledgement that, whatever they do, it will not repair this huge loss. I now know that I would have been a good mother, and that respectable, married adoptive parents is no guarantee of good parenting, or that an adopted person will be brought up with security and kindness.
