Madam, - Recent media reports from the greater Baghdad area suggests that since "regime change" little has happened to improve the lot of the ordinary Iraqi in the street. Indeed one is tempted to ask: have the bully boys simply changed uniform?
It reminds me so much of how tea-drinking troops 30 years ago in Derry and Belfast ended up being ensnared in hostility for decades due to the stupidity and heavy-handed tactics of their political masters.
History repeating itself yet again? - Yours, etc.,
DAVID REDDY, Durham Road, Dublin 4.
