Response To Terrorist Attacks

Sir, - The irony of Liam Carson's letter of October 19th was exceeded only by its na∩vetΘ

Sir, - The irony of Liam Carson's letter of October 19th was exceeded only by its na∩vetΘ. Sarcastic, sneering and arrogant from start to finish, it was brimming with the usual pinko-liberal rubbish that is quite frankly nauseating.

Mr Carson and all who share his views would do well to realise this: Islamic fundamentalist terrorism is directed at America because she is the largest symbol of Western democratic secularism. They should also note that as "infidels" they too are targets. Our neutrality won't protect them, but who do you suppose will? - Yours, etc.,
