Nobel laureate urges Europe to confront Saddam
Nobel Peace laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, after meeting with President George W. Bush at the White House on Thursday urged Europe to confront Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.Ivanov: Russia ready to veto U.S.-British resolution on Iraq to protect `international stability’“I believe it is the moral duty to intervene when evil has power and uses it,” Wiesel said.
“If Europe were to apply as much pressure on Saddam Hussein as (it) does on the United States and Britain, I think we could prevent war,” he said.
Russia is ready to veto a U.S.-British resolution under discussion in the U.N. Security Council authorizing war against Iraq if such a step is necessary to preserve “international stability,” Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said Friday.“Russia has the right to a veto in the U.N. Security Council and will use it if it is necessary in the interests of international stability,” Ivanov said at a news conference.
