Madam - Are there no bounds to the arrogance of Kevin Myers? In An Irishman's Diary (April 1st) he denigrates those who take a different view of the Iraq war to his own as simplistic peace-lovers, blithering idiots, cretins and, wit regard to one honest lady, having epic stupidity! Is he so unsure of his arguments that he has to descend to this kind of personal abuse? - Yours, etc.,

Madam, - Could Kevin Myers please be a little more courteous to us who hold a differing opinion to his as to the reasons behind the US-led invasion of Iraq,and not refer to us as "blithering idiots" and "cretins". Calm down Mr. Myers, this type of writing is beneath you. - Yours, etc.,
