The general _government_ consensus appears to be limited to weeks or just a couple of months, however... Iraq is one of the most heavily armed countries on earth, behind the Israeli's of course, but armed to the teeth nonetheless. If they make it through the blitzkreig, and manage to draw the invaders into house to house combat (which is I believe their only hope), this could go on for a very long time indeed. Personally, I am praying for this urban combat scenario - I believe that America *may* wake up to reality when very large numbers of it's children start coming home in body bags. > Regards Sarath. -- Yours, J.A.
