Final dnoclets

Should you want a reminder, just before the year is out, of the sort of letters you've been reading regularly in the Guardian over the last year - no, two years; no, two years and a quarter - you can obtain it easily by looking at the first three here. One of them has this:

... "terrorism" - the use of violence by the powerless to counter the use of overwhelming military and economic power by the US...

David Winnick MP:

...my view remains that the overthrow of such a murderous regime is to be welcomed and even more so by those who have always opposed fascism...

Which should remind you of how many letters from Guardian readers didn't welcome it.
