| Asalaamu Alaikum ;-) This is part of a transcript with Condoleeza Rice, George Bush's National Security Adviser. She gave this interview in August 2000 before Bush was elected. Washington, D.C.: How will the Bush administration deal with the Iraqi problem? By that I mean will they continue to "contain" Saddam Hussein or will there be a thought towards the idea of a Saddam free Iraq? Will the plight of the Kurds be considered? Condoleezza Rice: The containment of Iraq should be aimed ultimately at regime change because as long as Saddam is there no one in the region is safe -- most especially his own people. There are three elements to this policy: one is to try to strengthen the coalition of states that support the sanctions regime; the second is to give better support to opposition forces in accordance with the Iraqi Liberation Act; the third is that is if Saddam gives you a reason to use force against him, then use decisive force, not just a pinprick. And in the long run, you should succeed in creating a Saddam-free Iraq.
