We'll set you up with guest posting privilages on ASZ to give us your impressions. (And if anyone has a, well, "place" where this program can be viewed or downloaded, please let us know.)
For we Channel 4-less subjects in the colonies, there's an online print interview at their website with one of the reporters embedded in a Marine unit during the assault on Fallujah. Ch. 4's Tim Lambon reports. He concludes with:
There is never a military solution to anything like this...there is only ever talking at the end. Discussion, diplomacy and through that you come to a resolution and the only way to resolve the issue is to include the parties and sometimes that means you have to have the most radical ends of the two spectrums opposing each other come together and eventually when you get those two radical ends together to talk that’s the only time you find peace. It’s happened everywhere, from Lebanon to South Africa to Northern Ireland and it’s only when you get the radicals together to talk … they’ll never find common ground but if the populace gets tired enough of the war it will force the radical ends to talk and once the radical ends talk you then have peace. There is no military solution.
Never better said.
