Editor,

RE: "The world must make clear that use of chemical weapons is unacceptable” (The New Times, April 30).

Use of depleted uranium munitions, white phosphorous bombs, bombing innocent children and hospitals is admissible if done by powerful countries.

What the UK High Commissioner to Kigali is missing in his comments is the role Western countries, including the United Kingdom, are playing in fueling wars all over the world.

Would we still be hearing about Syrian War if those countries did not get involved in trying to overthrow a legitimate government simply because it is not under their influence? Do they really think the world forgot their role in Iraq?
