SO F Isherwood (July 20) thinks that those commiting terrorist activities, killing and maiming innocent civilians are mad dogs that should be destroyed?

I assume he includes Bush and the USA armed forces who murdered and maimed innocent civilians, at a recent wedding in Afganistan. If Mr Isherwood reads his history he will know that this is only the latest murders and maiming of innocent civilians carried out by the of USA governments and its armed forces. They slaughtered a whole village in Vietnam, including women, children, and older adults.
