...said Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa. Egypt, he declared, was "really disturbed" by the situation. Syria's Foreign Ministry issued an even stronger statement, calling the attack "an action that violates the U.N charter and international law." Only Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the countries that benefited most from the Gulf War, appeared to give U.S. actions support. But the Saudi government would not allow U.S. planes based in the Kingdom to participate in the strikes, probably out of fear of retaliation. Many Arab countries feel that the attacks will cause needless suffering to an already impoverished Iraqi population. Others, like...
...Iraqi Kurds opposed to Saddam Hussein. Throughout, Saddam's regime waged a merciless war on Kurds, including the notorious chemical weapons attack on the northern Iraqi city of Halabiya in 1988. The Kurds united in rebellion against the Iraqi regime in 1991, shortly after the end of the Gulf War, when the Western powers established an enclave where 4 million Kurds would be protected from Saddam. But even as the allied forces protected the Kurdish enclave in northern Iraq, the Kurds, true to their history, resumed fighting amongst themselves two years ago. Again, their infighting left them vulnerable to outside...
...first lawsuit by a state seeking to recoup the cost of health care for smoking-related illness. In spite of his professed wonderment that "little ole Mississippi" has taken the lead, it's fully in character for this aggressive and self-promoting prosecutor who got his start battling Gulf Coast corruption, and personally packed a gun to go on a drug raid. Moore, probably the most popular elected official in his state right now, is considering a run for Governor or Senator. Washington may call first, especially if Attorney General Janet Reno is a no-show in a second Clinton...
...worker Debbie Kraus told of her sister, who in April was found to have an inoperable brain tumor--until Perot had her flown in his private jet to a team of Dallas neurosurgeons, who discovered a treatable aneurysm. Ex-sergeant David Campbell, who suffered near fatal wounds in the Gulf War, attested to how Perot helped dispatch a team of doctors to rescue him from death's door. Besides testimonials, the main business was to hear the Reform candidates for President.Winner: Perot, with 65% of party members' ballots, over former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm. That, at least, was no miracle...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Compared to the nearly $70 billion the Saudis spent for American troop deployment during the Gulf War, Saudi officials have now decided that $100 million more isn't too much to pay to relocate the troops. Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan Wednesday finally buckled to American pressure to split the $200 million cost of relocating 4,000 U.S. troops to another spot within the kingdom. U.S. officials have wanted to move the troops as a precaution against terrorism; their proposal came in response to last month's truck bombing at a Dhahran military complex that killed 19 Americans...
