Letter To The Editor - Use Our Forces For Good

Dear Sir/Madam,

The UK is currently squandering unaffordable billions waging war in countries in which we have no business being merely in order to curry favor with the USA. Yet our government seems to be totally unwilling to use the armed forces to further the legitimate interests of its own citizens.

If it is possible for the kidnapped British yacht couple, Paul and Rachel Chandler, to be visited by a doctor and a press photographer, it is surely not beyond the powers of our Special Forces to rescue them from their Somali captors.

Foreign Secretary David Miliband should hang his head in shame at his department's failure to free the Chandlers. He certainly cannot be seen as any sort of credible successor to Gordon Brown until such time as they are at liberty.

Sincerely,

John Eoin Douglas
