Letter: Rich man's war

Sir: The problem with discussing the legality of Nato's campaign against Serbia is that Nato wants to be both arbiter and enforcer.

This is a problem that Nato shares with the UN. Since only powerful countries have the resources to act as enforcers and some of these countries have UN vetos, international law is controlled by the whim of a few countries. International law is really a new form of colonial imperialism.
