Letter: What now for Iraq?

CLINTON and Blair say it is their threat of force which has created the diplomatic agreement and averted (for the moment) their bombing of Iraq. It is surely the widespread opposition to the war by people in America and Britain which has made these overgrown playground bullies back down.

But the bombs are still in their hands. We will not be safe until the sanctions are ended and all the troops and weapons pulled out.
