Letters to the Editor War Talk
I watched the story on whether Australia should go to war if called upon by the United States. (Sunday on 9) I ask this question : If the real issue is to stop terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, then is the United Nations also going to have weapons inspectors in the USA? USA is developing nuclear weapons of low yield (5km square), and posses one of the comprehensive biological and chemical weapons arsenal on the globe. And will they use it??? Ask Japan , Korea, Vietnam and the 200 odd conflicts USA has been involved in since 1945. I am not for any side in the looming dispute, but as an ordinary citizen, I want truth and openness. The ordinary citizen is a lot more educated and sophisticated than every before. Who really benefits form the conflict? How will it impact on us in the long term, in terms of trade and what real threat to us?? What real political and economic threat is IRAQ against the world order? All we have so far heard is heavily biased rhetoric. If we are going to be asked to send our sons to war, at least be honest with us. Kurt Neuleuf ******************** Dear Editor, Regarding the editorial and the terrorism. There is more we are not told than what we are. May I refer you to a page of information I have collected at http://www.nex.net.au/users/reidgck/BUSHAD.HTM I emailed the above page to some 144 lower house politicians in light of the debate coming up on the issue very soon. Also there is the the home page which is www.nex.net.au/users/reidgck regarding the U.S. global economic collapse and the reasons Thanks for the Workers Online editions by email, they are very informative. Best wishes, Graeme Reid
