December 14.

Hell hath no fury like a non-combatant on the rampage. Ian Bell

(December 10), from the safety of a well-paid job, belabours the

British, French, and American Governments for their desire to protect

their troops in a civil war that was none of their making but that of

another non-combatant, Germany.

With the removal of the communist threat, the only real threat to the

West comes from militant Islam.

Why does the Muslim world not come to the aid of the Bosnian Muslims

instead of leaving it to the West?

Then perhaps Ian Bell could volunteer to put the rest of his body to

where his mouth at present is.
