Sir, – Luke Cahill (May 28th) asks if we will be “apologising to the Syrian people in 100 years’ time” for not supporting further “militarising the conflict”. If Mr Cahill was keeping up with the “collateral” consequences of our support for such militarist enterprises on the imploding Iraq and Afghanistan, he might be less monocular in his martial enthusiasms (“Dozens dead in Baghdad bombings”, World News, May 27th). – Yours, etc,
