SIR - Amid the non-event that is Lib-Dem internal politics, does anyone care what happens to our allies in Iraq?

Last weekend, 12 Americans died in a helicopter crash: two marines killed by roadside bombs and three by gunfire in Fallujah. Is there no one here in the UK concerned about the devastating effect that this must have had on the families of so many of our friends across the Atlantic?
