| Sumario: | The article reports that the other Arab nations should have to check their Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The cloud of fear that Iraq's President Saddam Hussein has spread over the Middle East is not passing. It is darkening, and will get blacker still until the people most at risk from the Iraqi dictator make a stand against him. During the Gulf war, it was the indispensable entrepôot through which Iraq brought in its weapons and supplies. Kuwait gave Iraq some 10 billion dollars in loans, free of interest, to help Hussein in a fight he himself had started. For this relief the Kuwaitis now receive no thanks from Hussein, who accuses them of profiteering while Iraqis shed their blood to keep all Arabs safe. The sheer mendacity of Hussein's allegations, which include the charge that Kuwait's foreign minister is an American agent, has persuaded Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates that they are up against a bully who must be stopped. Hussein has been shrewd in his latest choice of victims.
