I cannot let Jose O'Ware's accusation that Ken Livingstone is a hypocrite for being prepared to talk to those who appear to support terrorism (Letters, July 20, 2005) go unanswered.
Winston Churchill is reputed to have said: "Jaw, jaw, jaw is better than war, war, war."
Violence is what the terrorist is master of, and is his recruiting sergeant.
It is very difficult to stop terrorists in their tracks once they have embarked on a mission - just look to Iraq where we see more than 100,000 coalition soldiers and many Iraqi police unable to prevent daily acts of terrorism.
