Dear Sir/Madam:

Ian Black and Helena Smith ('Bush threatens attack over
"lies", November 21) describe as 'familiar
stonewalling' Iraqi expressions of concern over declaring
peaceful industries and over their ability to meet the
December 8 deadline for a full declaration of materials
relevant to Security Council Resolution 1441. Yet there is
good reason to believe that the US has managed to secure a
resolution worded the way it is to make it impossible for
Iraq to comply and hence to give it an excuse to launch the
war it wants. The resolution requires Iraq to declare not
only prohibited programmes, but also any related items and
other chemical, biological and nuclear programmes 'which it
claims are for purposes not related to weapon production or
material'.

Yours faithfully

Dr. Eric Herring
