Intervention isn’t the answerI find Andrew Rawnsley’s desire for western intervention in Syria incomprehensible (20 April). Martin DownWitney, UK• Andrew Rawnsley’s frustration at the continuing agony of the Syrian people is widely shared, but his attack on the non-interventionists is unfair. Wars are ended either by negotiation or by the victory of one side, and by arguing for intervention Rawnsley appears to favour the latter. John LampenStourbridge, UK• Andrew Rawnsley states “we can audit where a non-interventionist policy has got us”. There is Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya.
