We are in a delicate and tricky position. If we could be assured that no innocent Iraqi would suffer, I am convinced the whole world would say, "Go ahead". However, we cannot be sure of this and if there is a war, we can only hope the Americans will minimise the number of deaths of innocent people. We face a horrific prospect. Years ago Winston Churchill said jaw jaw was better than war war and that is still true. There may still be a way out but unfortunately Saddam Hussein does not seem to be ready to capitulate.
