I would see this as great progress! Perhaps never again will we see sanctions such as those on Iraq. Remember that previous US & UK Governments formulated these policies. The current lot are finding it hard to get out of the mess. Peter Hain has also acknowledged some past mistakes on the cause of this conflict. > I could hardly believe it!

I agree. The sanctions have caused the deaths of many more Iraqis than SH managed during two wars and years of repression. Also worthy of investigation by a tribunal would be the conduct of the air war and its implications for civilians.
