Letter: Diplomacy and Iraq

Whilst it may be the case that Saddam Hussein is a despot and is manufacturing nuclear and chemical weapons - is this a problem as far as the United Kingdom is concerned? We are not a primary, secondary or even a tertiary target in his game plan. As a nation, we no longer have the wherewithal to police the world. There are far more important global and home issues to address.
