Americanism vs. Iraq

 

            "President Bush warned he had "zero tolerance for any Iraqi attempts to hide weapons of mass destruction," according to the Associated Press's article "Iraqi agrees to U.N. Plan" printed in the Thursday, November 14th, 2002 Lincoln Journal Star. The article speaks poorly of Iraq and Hussein's administration, strongly implying that Iraq is not to be trusted and is lying to the U.N. about possessing weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's U.N. Ambassador Mohammed Al-Douri is quoted saying "his government has chosen "the path of peace" it's acceptance had "no condition, no reservations."" But Iraq Foreign Minister Nagi Sabri threatens, "the lies of the American administration and the British government will be exposed." .
             "With war looming, it is up to them to give Iraq "a fair and final chance to comply" with it's obligation to disarm," shows Britain's much more hopeful view of Iraq honestly allowing the U.N. inspectors full knowledge of their weapons programs in the Monday, November 25th, 2002 publication of The Week. Yet the U.K. still doesn't give the Iraqi president much credit for honesty quoting Abel Darwish of The Independent, "It would be a big mistake to underestimate Saddam's ability to weather the coming storm." He recounts a dinner with Hussein were he patronized The Godfather movies Don Corleone saying it was "calculated tactics that enabled him to laugh last and longer." .
             The British article, while distrusting of Iraqi intentions, also paints American leaders as war hungry saying, "even Bush now "seems to accept that this must be a U.N. war."" "Iraq will be in breach of resolution of 1441 when - as is likely - it refuse to own up to all of them on that date (December 8th). America will them face a choice between instigating immediate action or waiting for the U.N. to prove that Iraq is lying." Although some of the American hostility could be explained in the hostility of Iraq towards the U.
