Nick Denton has a novel if unlikely solution to the problem of how to take Baghdad – don’t bother. Repeat after me, “we will respect the territorial integrity of Yugoslavia, Bosnia will be a multiethnic unitary state”. If there is the slightest chance of Denton’s advice being followed (and I very much doubt it) watch people suddenly remembering that the borders of Iraq were a “mistaken and arbitary legacy of British colonialism”.
