Dear Mr Chulov
Your report ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/27/iraq-nuclear-reactor-programme ) states in its first paragraph that British and American aircraft destroyed Iraq's last two nuclear reactors almost nineteen years ago. A few paragraphs later, you refer to
Iraq's renewed dalliance with the science that was partly responsible for its international isolation, and two devastating invasions
The only two devastating invasions of which I am aware are those of 1990 (for which the pretext was Iraq's invasion of Kuwait) and 2003 (for which there were serial pretexts once it became apparent that Iraq's weapons of mass nonexistence probably did not exist). If Saddam Hussein's last reactors had been destroyed more than a decade earlier, in what sense was Iraq's nuclear programme "partly responsible" for the invasion of 2003?
Regards
Philip Challinor
