THE GULF, Page 31The Postman Only Rings Once
Excerpts from the President's letter to Saddam Hussein,
given to Tariq Aziz by U.S. Secretary of State James Baker:
"There can be no reward for aggression. Nor will there be
any negotiation. Principle cannot be compromised. However, by
its full compliance, Iraq will gain the opportunity to rejoin
the international community.
"More immediately, Iraq and the Iraqi military establishment
will escape destruction. But unless you withdraw from Kuwait
completely and without condition, you will lose more than
Kuwait. You may be tempted to find solace in the diversity of
opinion that is American democracy. You should resist any such
temptation. Diversity ought not to be confused with division.
Nor should you underestimate, as others have before you,
America's will."
