| Khatami says US looking for pretext to attack Iraq |
| 2003-01-22 |
| President Mohammad Khatami here Wednesday said that US was looking for a pretext to attack Iraq in the face of UN opposition, but he hoped that the Security Council could do something to stop Washington. Where's he been? We've already got our "pretext"... Asked about US and Britain's proposal to Saddam Hussein to voluntarily quit power in order to avert a war, the Iranian president said, "We believe that any change of government in Iraq must come from its people since this will benefit both Iraqis and the region. We think it is wrong to interfere in Iraq in order to change its government. We do not propose a government to quit power by force. However, Iraq must definitely submit to international principles." Or what? Someone will declare war on him and throw him out on his ear? Unless that's the alternative, he's got no incentive for submitting to "international principles." Neither does Iran — but after Sammy's gone, they might. |
