SIR - N Taylor took an exception to my view that killing can never be morally justified (Worcester News, July 22).

He lectured me by reciting facts and figures of the war in Japan. I do not need lecturing - I read my history books, I watched countless TV documentaries and I listened to many victims' accounts on the radio about that conflict in the Far East, by both allied and Japanese victims.
