Going beyond the ] criticism of Saddam and his regime, there are mounting ] calls on Saddam Hussein by Saudi newspapers to spare the ] Iraqi people the disasters and destruction of war by ] abdicating the presidency and seeking asylum outside ] Iraq. MEMRI also reported that Egyptian columnists are becoming increasingly impatient with Saddam -- They're not huge fans of the U.S. either, but they can clearly tell that Saddam's behavior is not helping matters. It's good to see (relative) support from other Arab countries on the situation. |
