Conditions for Withdrawal from Iraq
1) Unilateral withdrawal of all US/UK colonizing forces from Iraq
with the exception of those required to guard the embassies. To be completed within 90 days. Ceasefire agreement sought until such time as warring parties can be separated.

2) In preparation for unilateral withdrawal, a convening of the UN General Assembly and Security Council to discuss implementation of a transition UN peacekeeping force, who are to have joint command with parties in Iraq, including Sunni tribal leaders and Shi'a clergy in the main provinces affected by the insurgency. At least 2/3 of said force should come from Arab and other non-aligned states. US/UK/Coalition forces will be barred from participation in said force, and any NATO participants must pledge to keep force separate from any alliance-based military cooperation. The UN force is to determine the status of all insurgent/ political prisoners currently held in US/UK facilities in Iraq in accordance with the Geneva Convention, regardless of their previous status.

3) Amnesty for insurgents and all US/UK/Coalition military personnel. Establishment of a Truth Commission similar to that established in South Africa, whose findings shall be published but non-binding.

4) Establishment of a third party state location for trial of previous Iraqi regime, who will immediately be turned over to international monitors and removed from US/UK/Colonizing forces. Investigation of conduct of US/UK administrations in their prosecution of the war, to be completed within 1 year and submitted to the International Criminal Court for adjudication (US/UK need not comply, but investigation results will be openly published).

5) Third party assessment of financial status of Iraq, and audit of all transactions and agreements reached during the CPA/Occupation. US/UK/Coalition forces to make reparations for any discrepancies in contracts entered into by CPA or Occupation government. Special attention to be paid to all financial arrangements entered into by any Party who entered Iraq after March 2003, regardless of declared nationality.

6) Dissolution of current Iraqi puppet regime within 120 days. Renegotiation of all contracts exceeding 30 million euro entered into by CPA or Occupation Government. Conveening of national assembly with a view towards a) establishing a government or b) calling for new boundaries and establishing separate governments.

Sound crazy?
