The INSANITY of seeing China as the “ultimate motoring market"

Dear Editors,

In view of Iran's president's claim that Israel should be "wiped off the face of the earth", it is, surely, incumbent upon our government, with its allies and hopefully UN backing, to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons - by whatever means may be necessary, including military action.

It was very stupid of our foreign minister, Jack Straw, to publicly rule out military action, since the threat of it is probably the only thing that will deter Iran from pursuing its nuclear ambitions. Failing which, sooner or later, whether pre-emptive or in response to Iranian aggression, military action is almost inevitable.

Thank you, Jack Straw, whose over-zealous concern for Muslim votes should disqualify him from being foreign minister.
