Sir: I was interested to read the Dean of Peterhouse's

condemnation of ' freedom fighters' (September 15) on the entirely reasonable ground that their actions are based on an unChristian hatred of their enemies. Can we assume that Dr Norman opposed the British war effort from 1939 to 1945 on the ground that, being based on hatred of one's enemies, it was unChristian?
