Ian Fyvie does not think deeply or far enough back (Opinion, February 20).

You are either in or out. Half-measures won't do with Saddam Hussein or any such dictator.

We need to go back and learn from history when Hitler marched into the Rhineland. Appeasement then did not work either.

You either destroy Iraq's war machinery or you will get chemical and bacterial bombs, which the regime is very capable of producing and may already have. Half- in and half-out won't do.

I used to admire Tony Benn. I still do but this time his opinions are way out.
