Hang on, isn't - Bethlehem's over here, isn't it? (while pointing at Bethlehem on the map)

Yeah.

Well, that's the way we want to go.

Yes, through places like Mosul and Baghdad perhaps. Have you ever seen a television programme called The News?

Well, I'm aware of it.

Trust me, Mosul is properly dangerous.

That's really bad, isn't it.

That's as bad as it gets anywhere in the world right now.

And that where we are? (pointing at Arbil on the map) That's where it's really bad?

We are - less than a finger's width away. So up there (pointing to the map), into Iran, into Turkey, and then down there and that way, so we miss - we can get out of Iraq and then go 'round it.

Sounds like a plan.

So the wise men from the east are setting off east. Northeast.
