...expects to provide much of the labor to rebuild Kuwait. Workers there before the invasion were largely Egyptians, Palestinians and Yemenites, but the last two groups supported Saddam and won't be welcome for a long time. So the 400,000 Egyptians who fled after the invasion will probably stream back, followed by many compatriots...
...lightning rod for most of these complaints has been CNN's Peter Arnett. Since the all-news network was allowed to remain in Baghdad after most journalists were evicted, Arnett has been broadcasting a stream of reports under Iraqi supervision, mostly showing damage caused by allied bombing. Though CNN carefully labels these reports Iraqi-cleared, they have drawn fire for giving Saddam a conduit for his portrayal of the war. Senator Alan Simpson has impugned Arnett's patriotism; talk-show callers have heaped invective on the reporter. If Arnett were awarded "the Iraq Medal of Honor by Saddam Hussein," suggested...

Pessimists foresee a Soviet Union spinning out of control, splintering into warring ethnic fiefdoms and spewing a stream of refugees across Europe. But most Western analysts believe the future is less perilous. Autocracy might well return to the Soviet Union's political and economic life, or the country could break up. Either will strain East-West relations, but both sides have too much invested in cooperation to put their security at risk...
