THERE is a country in the Middle East that has for years refused to implement United Nations Security Council resolutions, that has refused UN inspection teams, that possesses weapons of mass destruction, that has a secret service that terrorises by kidnapping and murder, that has been ruled by a succession of ex-terrorists and which is the biggest threat to peace and stability in the region.
That state is Israel.
Yet we are going to war with Iraq. Surely we are targeting the wrong country? No, war is not the answer to the turmoil and evil regimes in the Middle East. Providing justice and enduring freedom for the Palestinians must be our first priority.
Working through the United Nations, the countries of the world including the United States must apply sufficient pressure to change the misguided and unjust regimes of both Israel and Iraq. It can be done but the will is not there — yet.
