INCIDENT - TERRORIST ATTACK Christians 'executed' by Pakistan gunmen (BBC)
THE TWO FACES OF GORE
"There can be no peace for the Middle East so long as Saddam is in a position to brutalise his people and threaten his neighbours." - 28 June 2000 (BBC)
"Even if we give first priority to the destruction of terrorist networks, and even if we succeed, there are still governments that could bring us great harm. And there is a clear case that one of these governments in particular represents a virulent threat in a class by itself: Iraq. As far as I am concerned, a final reckoning with that government should be on the table. To my way of thinking, the real question is not the principle of the thing, but of making sure that this time we will finish the matter on our terms." - 12 Feb 2002 (Council on Foreign Relations)
"By shifting from his early focus after September 11th on war against terrorism to war against Iraq, the president has manifestly disposed of the sympathy, goodwill and solidarity compiled by America and transformed it into a sense of deep misgiving and even hostility. In just one year, the President has somehow squandered the international outpouring of sympathy, goodwill and solidarity that followed the attacks of September 11th and converted it into anger and apprehension aimed much more at the United States than at the terrorist network." - 23 Sep 2002 (USA Today)
