Iraqis Ready to Defend Against Any Foreign Aggression: Deputy FM =============================================== Xinhuanet 2002-04-29 16:11:24 BAGHDAD, April 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Iraqis support their leadership and are ready to defend their leadership and country against any foreign aggression and interference in Iraq's domestic affairs, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz said on Monday. "George W. Bush is the president of the United States. He can make decisions in his own country, but he does not have the right, he does not have the capability to change anything outside his country, especially in this courageous country," Aziz told reporters after laying the foundation of a monument to commemorate the Amiriya shelter. The monument, which covers an area of 1,400 square meters, will include a light house, a museum, symbolic tombs and a list of names of all killed in the shelter. The Amiriya shelter was hit by U.S. warplanes in the 1991 Gulf War and more than 400 civilians inside were killed. The United States claimed at that time that the bunker was a military command center. It seems that the United States wants to resume "aggression" against Iraq and commit "another crime like the one they committed in 1991 in this shelter," Aziz said, stressing that the Iraqi leadership and people are prepared to defend their country and their sovereignty. President Bush has branded Iraq as part of an "axis of evil" and said that he wanted to see a change in Iraq. Iraq has since vowed to defend itself from any U.S. attacks.
