ACTiON SOCiAliSt Action AT LAST, a socialist paper written for notmal people! After a mere two copies. boin incidentally acquired on CND marches, I am addicted.

However, two or two points.

1, like most youllg people, believe the Rrifish Armv should hi withdrawn from Ire and. It's good to see the tyranny of British rule in Ireland brought out into the open - but be careful not to blind yourself to the evils on both sides.

dumming a bullet is as wrong as an IkA man making a bomb for a pub. Be very carerul not o in any way endorse RA murder as you soldier committing such a crime.

My second point is similar but over the Israel/PLO conflict, two extremes fighting one another for control of land.

The Israelis throwing arullery into civillar areas of Beirut was as wrong as the PLO, prior to the invasion, making rocket attacks at four o'clock on northern kibbutz and British troops in Ireland children finish school at four and it was those kids and parents the PLO were aiming for.

So please put the alternative case, but balance it on such obviously non hard and fact issues.

Please could you

give further information on Socialist Action and its aims. NATO'S UMBRELLA
