THE WEEK, Page 20WORLDEt Cetera
DON'T TAKE OFF!
For 17 months, Saddam Hussein has pounded the rebellious
Shi`ite Moslems of southern Iraq. But last week President Bush
made good on his promise to keep Baghdad from bombing the
rebels, declaring that any Iraqi fighter crossing south of the
32nd parallel would be shot down. As of week's end allied
pilots reported no Iraqi aircraft in the "no-fly zone." Saddam's
only comment: "We will choose the appropriate method and timing
to confront this unjust, hostile decision."
ENTENTE CORDIALE
For decades Canadians have been worried that the
French-speaking province of Quebec would secede and the country
would fall apart. Last week Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and
10 provincial premiers finalized an agreement aimed at keeping
the 125-year-old confederation intact. They agreed to
constitutional reforms that would provide greater autonomy for
Quebec, more political clout for the country's less populous
regions and self-government for aboriginal Canadians.
