Iraq urges Arabs to copy Korean defiance, Bush hopes for peace.
(From Agence France Presse)
Iraq urged the Arab world to take inspiration from fellow "axis of evil" member North Korea, as US President George Bush voiced hope the Iraqi weapons stand-off could still be settled without bloodshed.
"We Arabs need to revise our behaviour towards the United States, as North Korea has done (by relaunching its nuclear programme in the face of stiff US criticism), to be respected," said Ath-Thawra, mouthpiece of the ruling Baath party in Baghdad.
"Arabs need to learn the lesson from the Korean example to mobilise in order to stop an attack on Iraq and prevent a US-Zionist crusade in the Arab world," Ath-Thawra said.
Despite the difference in forces between Pyongyang and Washington, "Korea insists on its right to possess a technology used by the United States to raze Japanese cities (during World War II) and which it still uses to blackmail the world and force it to obey its orders.
"Through its courageous stance, North Korea demands that international law be applied to all in the same manner," the daily said.
Bush voiced US hopes Tuesday that the crises with Iraq and North Korea -- which he has lumped with Iran on an "axis of evil" -- could be resolved peacefully, but reiterated that Baghdad faced a military strike unless it eliminated weapons of mass destruction.
