    Your politically loaded question to Olivier Weber

    Saturday Dec. 3, 2016, 8:57 AM

    Dear Kim,

    You asked Olivier Weber, in apparent high seriousness: "So no matter how bad the leader---Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad---you shouldn't go in and get rid of him?" You forgot to mention another convenient focus of Western wrath: Robert Mugabe.

    It's interesting that you chose a triumvirate of officially ordained enemies. Surely it would be equally valid to "go in and get rid of" the likes of Barack Obama, Binyamin Netanyahu and King Salman. Why would you not choose one of those names?

    Yours in astonishment at the political bias of our media,

    Morrissey Breen
    Northcote Point
