TERRY James stated (You Say, Thursday, May 20) that the political regime in place in the USA is "as bad as al Qaeda".
Does the US government fly airliners into buildings? Does the US government blow up commuter trains? It is truly beyond belief that anybody could make such a comparison as this.
The simple truth is that Islamic fundamentalists wish to destroy our way of life, and that's not the fault of the United States of America or George Bush.
Resolutions
As for Iraq, if Saddam Hussein had adhered to the many UN resolutions imposed upon him, as he had many years to do so, this war would not have happened.
Don't blame America. Islamic fundamentalists would no doubt like to demonstrate their hatred of the infidels in such a way that the attacks of 9/11 would seem insignificant.
The US and others are just trying to prevent this.
GARY WEBB,
Worcester.
