Letter: US air strikes

Letter: US air strikes

Sir: I note the support given by Tony Blair to the American bombing raids in Sudan and Afghanistan. I wonder why the Americans do not feel that they should sit down and negotiate peace with those who threaten them as the British are encouraged to do with the Irish. Would President Clinton be so happy to endorse British bombing raids against terrorist bases in Ireland or against those who sponsor Irish terrorism in the US?
