Sir: If only we had listened to the anti-war left. We could have killed another 90,000 Iraqi civilians with UN sanctions whilst keeping a genocidal dictator in place. Instead, we have killed around 30,000, replacing a brutal regime with free elections, democratic beginnings and a despot facing trial.
