America is trapping Iraq

By Ahmed El-Houni Editor-in-Chief of Al Arab International Newspaper - London

When it failed to impose sanctions on Iraq, thanks to refusal of three great powers France, China and Russia in addition to Egypt who refused to be subjected to the American pressures, America tried to trap Iraq by forcing it to expel the inspection committee or freeze its mission. Thus, the American stance will be Justified and the Iraqi regime appears guilty and violating of Securty Council resolutions. So, we called upon Iraq in our last Monday issue to threaten of not allowing the inspection in case of imposing new sanctions by the Security Council and to refute the truthless allegations of the committee which must include other members from neutral countries rather than its current suspicious American and British members.

Iraqi Parliament reaverred its confidence in its leadership in adopting any decision for the sake of Iraq, notwithstanding, the American evokations backed by the Zionist propaganda and some Arab bachwardness leaders.

Iraq, now, is requested to launch a dip lomatic and information campaign to evaluate the position of the abstaining five countries to be ready to face any draft resolution for imposing new sanctions. The Russian Foreign Minister, Brimakov, asked Iraq to grasp the indication behind this abstention of the three big powers which means the end of the American hegemony. Iraqi diplomacy has to move quickly and so has the Arab League who is accused of being indifferent to the sufferings of the Iraqis.

Iraq has to get in touch with the eight member states who backed America to ask them to reconsider their stances supportive to injustice and killing of innocent people. Contacts have to be carried out with African Unity Organization, Organization of the Islamic Conference and Non- Aligned Countries to help in disrobing the American and Zionist intensions. ALL Arab Countries have to collaborate with Egypt in its honourable position. Leniency is requested from Iraq in order to nullify the strenous intentions of America.
