In answer to your question Ard:

"Teribus and Gareth can you see a way out for your darling boys Tony and George, I can`t" (ard mhacha 03 May 04 - 09:42 AM)

They have no end of opportunities, it is, after all, very early days yet. Anyone who expected a simple quick-fix solution for the problems to be encountered in the post-Saddam Iraq is being incredibly niaive.

By the bye, Ard, from what I have gleaned from your posts and the outlook exhibited in them, it doesn't surprise me for one second that you can't see the courses of action that are open to all parties involved. But then again you have always only looked at things from one perspective.
