I was deeply saddened to read of the death of another British serviceman in Iraq (The Argus, November 4).

Nearly as sad was the sight of Hove MP Ivor Caplin on TV trying with weasel words to excuse this young man's death when it was his party who sent this country to war on very doubtful grounds in the first place.

To see him try to show sympathy to the young man's family sickened me to my stomach
