"There was a curtain across the room and when they had finished (raping me) they said: 'Go and get your baby'. I went behind the curtain and she was naked, her head was blue and she had foam on her mouth. She had no pants and there was lots of blood streaming down her legs and I knew they had raped her"
[The Guardian 19 March 1993, quoting Bosnian woman named Samira]

Our strategic and security interests throughout the world will be best safeguarded by the establishment in suitable spots of 'Police Stations', fully equipped to deal with emergencies within a large radius. Kuwait is one such spot from which Iraq, South Persia, Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf could be controlled. It will be worthwhile to go to considerable trouble and expense to establish and man a 'Police Station' there.
