| Kuwait: Strong feelings of apathy toward Iraq war... |
| 2002-07-29 |
| Kuwait said on Monday it was ready for "all eventualities" in case of US military action against Iraq, while renewing its opposition to such strikes. "The necessary measures have been taken for all eventualities. We are constantly paying heed to reactivating the role of the civil defence," said the interior minister, Sheikh Mohammed al-Khaled al-Sabah. "If we have to, guess we will..." Information Minister Ahmed al-Fahd al-Sabah, meanwhile, also quoted by KUNA, reiterated Kuwait's opposition to strikes on its former occupier. "We are against a strike, but we hope Baghdad cooperates (with the United Nations) to spare the region a war. Nobody in the world wants war. The brotherly Iraqi people are our neighbours and will remain so," he said, adding, "We want the Iraqi people to stay on their territory and the Kuwaiti people on theirs," he said. That's Kuwaiti for "You idiots got yourself into this mess. Try not to get blood all over our carpets while you're trying to get out." |
