THE letter from A.G. Reeson is misinformed to say the least (March 1).

Appeasement is an issue but it is not Saddam Hussein who is being appeased. The British Prime Minister has been on his knees to the US since taking office, collaborating in the war crimes of that nation and prostrating himself and Parliament before his masters in Washington.

He cannot promise 'peace in our time' because he has too little input, all he has to offer his masters in Washington is further subservience and more British territory for US military deployment.
