US BOMB AS LETHAL AS IRA ONE
US bomb as lethal as IRA one
PRESIDENT Clinton is not the person to offer sympathy in Omagh.
He condemned the massacre there but within a week had dropped his own bombs and destroyed innocent lives in Afghanistan and the Sudan.
It is just as bad for Clinton to kill by bombing as it is for the Real IRA to do it.
The denunciation of those who murdered in Omagh is weakened when it comes from someone who has himself got innocent blood on his hands.
In welcoming Mr Clinton's interest in Northern Ireland, we must urge him to stop using for his own political ends the bombs which we know cause only mayhem and grief.
JOHN HARKIN,
Derry.
