How to Surrender

Steps to demonstrate a genuine troop stand-down are well known to military officers around the world.

Iraqi forces could:

* Shut off air defense radars, a step that would be evident to the allies’ airborne electronic listening posts.

* Transmit clear radio messages saying they intended to cease offensive activities.

* Drop their weapons and leave defensive positions, coming out into the open so that they could be clearly seen by allied observers.

* Pull camoflauge nets from tanks, artillery batteries, and troop emplacements.

* Withdraw front-line troops so that allied forces could take over portions of Kuwait and monitor larger troop departures.

* Make major troop pullouts over a stated period of time so movement toward Iraq would be seen.

* Place remaining Scud launchers in the open for observation.
