"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The demand, in the draft US-British resolution being urged on the UN Security Council, is designed to allow weapons inspectors to interview key scientists without the intimidating presence of Iraqi officials. One diplomat involved in drafting the resolution denied that the plan was to extract Saddam Hussein's scientific elite and offer them a comfortable retirement in the West.
