The way these international developments play out is amazing. The Iran - Syria - Egypt - Saudi axis to counteract the Tel Aviv/Ankara relationship is truly serious. I think it is because the Arab masses are hurting economically, and the low price of crude will only make things worse. The pain causes common sense and reason to depart. The Saudi press, which usually reflects official views, strongly opposes air strikes that could cause civilian casualties in Iraq. Articles argue that the United States should try to "surgically" kill Saddam himself. The Middle East sources said these sentiments accurately reflect the consensus of the ruling Saudi princes. "Why don't they consider getting rid of President Saddam Hussein through means that will cost the Iraqi people the least in terms of suffering?" the Al-Riyadh newspaper asked yesterday. "Instead of deploying an armada of warships and aircraft carriers in the Gulf, why don't the Americans do to Saddam what they did with former Panamanian President Manuel Noriega or what the Russians did with Chechen leader Dzhokhar Dudayev?" Al-Riyadh said. Those writers choose to completely ignore the horrendous loss of life associated with both those operations. Charles
