This warning to Hussein, however, should not be considered the “next step” in the current war against terrorism. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell has said that there is no specific evidence linking Iraq to the attacks of Sept. 11, and it would be inappropriate of the administration to portray any pressure placed on Iraq as simply a continuation of our campaign in Afghanistan. Rather, the administration must rebuild the international coalition against Iraq and its potential access to destructive weapons, and combat the threat of terrorism one step at a time...

Egypt's official Al Ahram was cautiously optimistic in an editorial, but it also carried a front page analysis predicting problems: "[The Palestinians'] ill-disguised discomfort was due to the concrete demands Powell made on them to bring about [an end to the intifada] compared to the vagueness he wanted from Israel to move to [end its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza]." Israeli raids into Palestinian territories and new housing construction...
