Madam, – Raymond Deane (March 16th) says that EU countries have come together to wage war in countries whose resources they covet.
This seems a little confusing to me, as I cannot think of any resources worth coveting in Somalia, Chad, Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Moldova, Ukraine, Kosovo, Palestine, Gaza, Macedonia, Sudan, or most of the countries where the EU has operated under the auspices of the European Security and Defence Policy.
Perhaps Mr Deane believes that the training of judges, magistrates and senior police officers in Iraq is really an attempt to gain control of that country’s oil reserves. – Yours, etc,
EOIN McGRATH,
