<p> NOT EVEN A NICE TRY
</p>
<p> Ever brazen, Saddam Hussein dispatched Deputy Prime Minister
Tariq Aziz to the United Nations to demand an end to sanctions.
With maximum bluster and minimum facts that left members
rolling their eyes, Aziz accused the Security Council of
genocide and portrayed Iraq as victim. The council countered
with a litany of violated agreements, thwarted weapons
inspections, abuses against Kurds and Shi`ite Muslims and, as
Aziz was reminded, the continued suffering of the Iraqi people
because Saddam is diverting food shipments to his security
forces and the military. After two days Aziz left empty-handed.

<p> BACK TO DEMOCRACY
</p>
<p> Encouraged by his 65% approval rating, President Alberto
Fujimori thought that the candidates he supported for Peru's new
Congress would easily win more than half the 80 seats up for
grabs in last week's election. Although the vote is still being
counted, his delegates seem to have won a comfortable 43 spots
if not an overwhelming mandate. Yet the election was a no-lose
situation for the President. By scheduling the vote, Fujimori
gave the signal that he is committed to restoring Peru's
democratic institutions.
