Madam, – Why has the announced American escalation in Afghanistan prompted virtually no response in "neutral" Ireland? Bunreacht na hÉireann(Article 29) advocates the "pacific (ie non-military) settlement of international disputes".
The latest troop “surge” along with the last one in March comprises 50,000 extra US combatants. An expanded war will occur after which some negotiated “peace” settlement will presumably ensue. “They have made a desert and called it peace” (Tacitus AD98). – Yours, etc,
