A nightmarish standoff of the type familiar to movie thriller fans has certainly entered the minds of Washington’s decision-makers. It goes something like this: One morning, a spokesman of the ruling Iraqi Baath Revolutionary Council issues a statement: Iraqi secret agents are in place at two or three key centers in America - or strategic locations in America, Britain and Israel - armed with suitcases containing nuclear devices or deadly viruses, smallpox, anthrax etc. Then comes the ultimatum: Bush is given 12 or 24 hours to go public before the UN General Assembly and revoke his war plans for Iraq, or else an irreversible order goes out to the agents to release the suitcases’ deadly contents. An American pre-emptive blitz of Iraq cities would have the same consequence.
