I think that this is a huge hazard because of the high volume of traffic using South Ward Road to access both the Lindsay Street and Overgate car parks after coming off the ring road. Lindsay Street is also busy with cars leaving the car parks. I have seen a few near misses and it must only be a matter of time before a serious accident takes place. — Dundee Driver.

Then the men were told they were staying. Now Tony Blair says they will be home for Christmas after helping out the Americans.

This is all beyond belief. The morale of the troops must be at an all-time low.

How can the military pen-pushers and politicians possibly think the men will be at their best after all this? And it’s all to get George W. Bush re-elected.

I have to laugh when I hear politicians and do-gooders talk about terrorists, paedophiles and other prisoners’ “human rights” (a convicted drug pusher is suing because he doesn’t have en suite facilities in his cell).

Those in our prisons knew what to expect when they dealt drugs, mugged OAPs, etc as did my son when he joined up.

But there’s no clamour about his rights.

The Black Watch has done its duty. Get them home now.

Please do not print my name and address for the sake of my son. — Distraught Mum.

WHEN U.S. President and Commander in Chief George W. Bush gave the victory salute aboard a US aircraft carrier, he never thought that 18 months later the American casualties in Iraq would be ten times the casualties during it.

Isn’t it time we got out of Iraq before British casualties start spiralling?

When the Americans decided to arm and train the freedom fighters pushing the Russians out of Afghanistan, the brave leader wasn’t supposed to transmogrify himself into the evil Osama bin Laden.

Were I a soldier in Iraq, I would half jokingly suggest that, with this and similar track records, the politicians should aim in the opposite direction to the intended target.

We could withdraw to Kuwait and, since the ordinary people there don’t have the right to vote, we could protect a free election there instead of in Iraq.

The Iraqi insurgents might then say, “If Kuwait can have elections why can’t we since there are no longer any foreign armies here?”

Then, maybe, our soldiers could all come home to their families. — Ex-8th Army.

While it is true than punk music was littered with references to drug use and blasphemy, it did not contain the sort of lyrics carried in music today. These champion gang culture, drive-by shootings, gang rape plus abuse of women and incitement to murder gays.

Also counterfeiting in the music industry runs to hundreds of millions of dollars in a year.

Behind the racketeering lies international crime syndicates.

These have well-established links to money laundering, human trafficking, drug smuggling and international terrorism. — D. Campbell, Broughty Ferry, Dundee.
