Dear Fi,
 
your topic for discussion today - 'How can we 
get the Iraqi people to trust coalition forces ?' - is an interesting one and 
will no doubt inspire a good range of suggestions.
 
Similarly phrased questions you may wish 
to use in future shows might be :
 
'How can Tony Blair get Labour Party members 
to trust him ?'
 
'Is it reasonable to expect the UN to reconstruct 
Iraq after two of its own Security Council permanent members have destroyed it 
?'
 
'Should BBC consumers be constantly 
cautioned that the movements of 'embedded' journalists are as restricted as 
those of journalists currently based in Baghdad ?'
 
'Is it unpatriotic to protest against Britsh troops 
being involved in an illegal invasion which may lead to their being prosecuted 
in the International Criminal Court ?'
 
'After the 'certain victory' has been secured, will 
the UN be taking any action against Security Council permanent members who 
knowingly presented the Council with false/misleading and faked 'evidence' in 
support of Resolution 1441 ?'
 
These questions might draw some interesting 
viewpoints from your listeners, and there is a whole raft of others involving 
use of the words 'Israel', 'weapons of mass destruction' and 'rank 
hypocrisy'.
