-Caveat Lector- Sharon Poses Bigger Regional Threat Than Saddam: Mussa http://www.tehrantimes.com/Description.asp?Da=2/22/03&Cat=2&Num=010
MADRID - Right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon poses a far greater regional threat than Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa warned in an interview published on Friday, AFP reported. Mussa told the Spanish newspaper El Pais that more than a decade of UN sanctions and arms inspections in Iraq meant Saddam was "much weaker than he was in 1990 and doesn't constitute a threat" to the Middle East. "The serious and chronic danger for this region comes from the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the irresponsible, aggressive policies of the Sharon government," he said, in comments translated into Spanish. Mussa pointed out that UN Security Council Resolution 687 called for the elimination of weapons of mass destruction in the entire Middle East region -- not just Iraq. "Everyone knows Israel possesses many weapons (of mass destruction)," he said. "It's a scandalous example of double standards. There's a lot of attention to the possibility that Saddam could possess weapons of mass destruction, yet it's accepted that another country in the region should have them. "Israel is allowed to carry out violent acts with complete impuntiy that no other country in the world could get away with. Israel can ignore Security Council resolutions," the Arab leader said. "All Arabs are outraged by what's happening in the occupied Palestinian territories. War against Iraq would add insult to injury, or injury to insult," he added.
