Madam, - I note from your reports that President Bush and his new Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, are so close they pray together. If it wasn't so serious you'd have to laugh.
These are the people engaged in the slaughter of innocent men, women and children in the cause of "spreading democracy". At least they've got something in common with the Taliban. Of all the forms of lunacy the religious variety has to be the worst. - Yours, etc.,
JAMES MORAN, Knockanure, Bunclody, Co Wexford.
