An amazing exercise we're watching really..
Casualty figures are so low they're not really indicative of a full-blown war.. more like an early seventies meeting between the Mods and the Rockers.. or Hell's Angels v Devil's Disciples.. perhaps that's dated..
Nevertheless.. of all the wars in history.. this one will go down as perhaps the least costly in terms of human life..
Now it comes down to guerilla warfare.. and perhaps we'll see damage by the Saddam Fida'iyin.. and the hardcore Ba'ath troops.. those who have absolutely nothing to lose should the Saddam regeme fall..
This might be close to the time Jaques Chirac.. the UN.. and all the rest begin diplomatic pushes..
Perhaps an effort to prevent street warfare..
But.. with all the cards being held now by George.. to some extent Tony.. it'll needs be a large olive branch the politicians begin offering..
