Sacrificing for Sarajevo

I'm afraid that it is impossible for me to agree with the Jan. 12 Danziger cartoon.

The good Samaritan in the Bible parable used his own money, his own beast, his own oil and wine. He did not risk the lives of many young men in order to help the injured traveler. Nor did the friends of the injured traveler fight other injured travelers and commit dark deeds of revenge.

It is the lives of their young nationals that the leaders of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and others are unwilling to sacrifice. F. Wintle, Salisbury, England
