Iraq's vice president said America's overbearing and "dirty" foreign policy could prompt attacks worse than Sept. 11. Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan railed against what he called "unjust" U.S. foreign policy since the attacks. "Since Sept. 11, they (Americans) have further strengthened the course that led to the events in New York and Washington, their policies have become even more dirty," Ramadan said. "If things continue like this, I believe that America will draw an even stronger backfire. Something more terrible than Sept. 11 will happen... It would be a very, very tough response. American despotism concerns more and more nations every year."
That sounds like vaguely like a threat. An "even stronger backfire" would result in something that makes our treatment of the Taliban - and our handling of the Iraqi army in the Gulf War - look kind and gentle. |
