I am extremely grateful to my colleagues for producing these stimulating comments and ideas in reply to my paper. It is encouraging to see that there is general agreement on the thrust of my arguments, in particular as regards the need for integrated joint research programmes, for improved education at the local and global scales, for significant improvements in publication strategies and for an appreciation and incorporation of Iraqi views of the past into constructed historical trajectories. I now take each respondent in turn.
