At the start of my terrorism studies course, I ask students what most terrorists have in common. They always say: 1- Mental illness 2- Religion. They are, of course, wrong. The two most common traits of violent extremists are: 1- Gender 2- History of domestic violence and online mysogyny.

How dare he use the media when it suits him and shun it when it doesn’t. No one wanting power should have that kind of control over their own accountability.

Letters in The Times and iPaper that reflect the views of British people far better than the deeply partisan, stupid and disloyal headlines of the rightwing press. Showing there is simply no issue on which they will just calm down and support a Labour govt. Not one. Not even in a war no one wants.

Sir, For the first time I totally disagree with one of your editorials, which states that the UK should join the war alongside the Americans. To keep the UK out of this conflict is the bravest, strongest act by Sir Keir Starmer in this parliament. The Iranian regime without doubt is odious but this war is doomed to fail, just like the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is not supported by the majority of Americans and will cost billions of dollars and many lives. At least the prime minister has learnt the lessons of history - unlike his counterpart in the White House.
Dr Susan Kempson

PM is right to be cautious on Iran

I read James Ball's balanced column
"Trump's Iran gamble could unravel his
presidency" (The i Paper, 3 March) with interest and, yes, his all-guns-blazing action might indeed come back to haunt him.
He and his gung-ho colleagues may have read the room wrong and the American people will be furious if many of their young people die as a result of this war.
Seemingly diplomacy is at an end and his presidential call of
"America First" rings eerily empty. There is no doubt that the Iranian regime which targeted its own people had to be stopped, but is this the best way to do it?

My son was sent to the Gulf when Blair involved the UK in the last American-led fiasco.
He still bears the mental scars. Consequently, Starmer's reluctance to get involved now is good news to me.

Those who criticise
Sir Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump might consider the possible consequences. Has it occurred to them that the Prime Minister is trying to minimise the risk of Iranian retaliatory action, either militarily or by individuals, by refusing to participate in this conflict? His duty to protect UK citizens is a priority.

Farage cannot cope with his own unpopularity. At all. With the media’s help and huge foreign donations, his ego has been massaged into such a state of entitlement that he thinks he’s answerable to no one and simply owed power. It’s become a national imperative to prove him wrong.
