Sir, – Eamon Gilmore does not think it wise to arm the Syrian rebels for fear of militarising the conflict (World News, May 27th). What does he think has happened thus far? Will we be apologising to the Syrian people in 100 years’ time as the Government rightly apologised to those who took part in the second World War? Yours, etc,
