We had a superb Panorama programme devoted to Iraq on BBC TV last night.
Ninety minutes of statements and cross-examination under the chairmanship
of David Dimbleby. This was TV at its very best and I hope it will be
transmitted in many other countries.
All possible points of view were expressed by experts and spokespeople from
many countries (including Perle from the US and several different opinions
from the Arab world). To my surprise ('cos I usually don't have much time
for army types -- having served under them for two years), I think the best
contribution came from General Sir Michael Rose, ex-Chief of the British
Defence Staff. Towards the end of the programme and in quiet tones he
simply said that army generals need clear priorities. He thought that the
priorities of the modern world are:
1. Terrorism;
2. The Israel-Palestine problem;
3. North Korea;
4. Iraq.
