I do not know how many readers saw Dan Cruickshank's TV documentary about Iraq last Sunday evening.

As an ex-serviceman, I have been a bit so-so regarding the prospect of war.

However, having seen what has happened to the British Military Cemetery (flattened and its gravestones used to build a shack), I was appalled.

I now feel any regime that could allow this to happen just has to go.

I hope when Saddam Hussein and his government have gone, the cemetery will be restored.
