What if there's no Iraq war? A plan is needed By Robert Malley International Herald Tribune January 4, 2003 WASHINGTON - For some time now, the American debate over Iraq has focused on a potential war and what should follow it. What is striking is how little thought appears to have been given to the other possible outcome, the one the rest of the world continues to push and the Bush administration itself professes to favor: a nonmilitary settlement. In short, all the talk has been about the day after a war. But what about the day after a non-war? An invasion still seems likely. But we may witness an Iraqi turnabout - last-minute compliance with the UN Security Council terms in hope of salvaging Saddam Hussein's regime. There may be a preemptive coup by Iraqi security officials determined to get rid of Saddam before the United States gets rid of them. Or we may have to live with an ambiguous situation that drags on for a long time, with neither a smoking gun nor a clean bill of health, because inspections are inconclusive, American allies deem Iraq's threat insufficient to justify a war, and Washington concludes that it would be wiser not to go at all than to go it alone.
