Looks like something I wrote may soon be redundant:

THE END

Fade to desert scene.

EXT: DESERT HOUSE.

A couple of Arabs looking at video camera. Another one steps up to face it. He is in full desert clothing.

ANON ARAB

All ready, mullah.

MULLAH

We do not wish to be enemies, Americans. And that is why we have taken on the task you in your wealth, were too weak to consider. We fight the terrorists - al Pentagon fi Iraq - here

(waves his arm around to indicate the land, beautiful in its austere way as deserts usually are)

so you will not have to fight them over there.

THE REAL END

I couldn't be more delighted.

I believe the new sentence is legalese for Iraq hasn't any claim on US forces.
