Bush lists demands of Iran

From correspondents in Farfullias, Texas
January 02, 2004

US President George W Bush said today that helping Iranians after last week's devastating earthquake was the right thing to do, but that US aid did not signal a thaw in relations with Tehran.

"What we're doing in Iran is we're showing the Iranian people the American people care, that they've got great compassion for human suffering," he told reporters after hunting quail with his father.

But if Tehran wants better relations, it must turn over any member of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network it has in custody, abandon efforts to develop unconventional weapons, and embrace political reforms.

"The Iranian government must listen to the voices of those who long for freedom, must turn over al-Qaeda that are in their custody and must abandon their nuclear weapons program," he said.

Beijing will probably attempt behind-the-cameras suppression, such as infiltrating dissident groups and threatening and arresting leaders and members. If that fails, watch out!
