Subject: TOO SOON TO STOP THINKING
SUMMARY
As war looms, where are the voices of Iraqis themselves? In
www.openDemocracy.net Faleh Jabar and Yassir Alaskary argue the morals and
politics of 'regime change' in their country. Paul Rogers and Milan Rai
place this week's UK government dossier in the context of war preparations -
and resistance.

Saddam is a monster, says Iraqi-born scholar FALEH JABAR. But a successor
regime requires long-term planning, not a short-term crusade.
