An important point, Sir.
And if I may add, the possible future gains and risks are even more difficult to see. I do wonder if the voters have considered that Iraq is next door to Saudi Arabia, from which comes a great deal of oil. If Iraq were to become a failed state, I suspect today's gasoline prices would seem like a bargain.
