Sir, – Now that the current ad hoc coalition of the willing and their Nato military wing have yet another “mission accomplished”, and dominate the paragonic moral high-ground, should we dispense with any pretence at post-colonial multilateralism and with the extravagance of the outflanked and obviously redundant United Nations? After all, the League of Nations was no loss, was it? Yours, etc,
Sir, – It looks as if Col Gadafy will soon be unemployed. I suggest we offer him the presidency of Ireland in exchange for paying off our national debt with his oil riches. Any citizenship difficulties can be overcome by a revival of our passports-for-sale scheme. The added attraction for the colonel is that he would be, ex officio, the head of our armed forces. – Yours, etc,
