I am concerned about what will happen in the aftermath of this conflict. The President of the United States, Mr. Bush, has articulated a vision in this regard but it may prove more difficult than he envisages. The Kurdish community, found in a part of northern Iraq which contains many oil fields, may find itself in strong contention with the Turks. One hopes Turkey will not illustrate clearly to the European Union, by taking certain hostile action in the current circumstances, the reason it should not be admitted as a member state. The risk that Shiite Muslims in the southern part of Iraq may engender a fundamentalist regime should be treated as a matter of concern. The role of Iran in that regard has to be seriously monitored.
