I am convinced that the conflict will not spread to other countries in the region,

If there is a war, it will be entirely his own fault. Of course I would like a peaceful solution too. But we can only achieve one if we all increase the pressure on Iraq.

Syria has been and will be a friend of Spain. It will not be the target of any war actions,

Without economic development, any potential for political openness and freedom will be questionable.

In crises, the old is dying and the new has not been born. Hence, the revolts we are witnessing in Egypt and Tunisia, which may yet extend to other countries in the region, are full of uncertainties.

Disarming Iraq is legal under a series of U.N. resolutions. Iraq is in flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
