I don't see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq; that's almost inconceivable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Clearly, a stable, unified and democratic Iraq cannot be achieved militarily by the U.S.
I think Britain would be alright, if only we had a different Government.
A global deal will only be possible if Britain plays its part, leading the way with other developed countries.
I think we still have a chance if we continue with our work, if Iraq provides full cooperation, we should still be able to avoid a war.
It would be, in fact, very ominous if Iraq were to be able to get weapon-usable material, hydro-plutonium or highly enriched uranium from abroad.
I have no time for those who say there is no way Scotland could go it alone. I know first-hand the contribution Scotland and Scots make to Britain's success - so for me there's no question about whether Scotland could be an independent nation.
We need Britain not only to stay in the E.U. but to be very active in it.
As much as we might look for opportunities to keep Iraq together, we need to be prepared for the reality that it's not going to stay together.
I can't accept collective responsibility for the decision to commit Britain now to military action in Iraq without international agreement or domestic support.
Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States of any of its neighboring nations.
