[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

I believe you're wrong, Alexander, that in fact we HAVE to go and go now.

However, I'm not going to root around the internet for articles and links which support my view, for I feel that there has been enough rhetoric on the subject to-date, and that any more buys us nothing.

The time now is to focus our attention on the youngsters who shall shortly be at the pointy end of the stick, for the nth time in human history. Let us hope that this time around it will be quick and relatively bloodless; I suspect that Iraq is but a shell of what it purports to be, and that its rotten infrastructure will collapse like a deck of cards. For both sides, I hope so.
