- <p> Excerpts from the President's letter to Saddam Hussein,
- given to Tariq Aziz by U.S. Secretary of State James Baker:
- </p>
- <p> "There can be no reward for aggression. Nor will there be
- any negotiation. Principle cannot be compromised. However, by
- its full compliance, Iraq will gain the opportunity to rejoin
- the international community.
- </p>
- <p> "More immediately, Iraq and the Iraqi military establishment
- will escape destruction. But unless you withdraw from Kuwait
- completely and without condition, you will lose more than
- Kuwait. You may be tempted to find solace in the diversity of
- opinion that is American democracy. You should resist any such
- temptation. Diversity ought not to be confused with division.
- Nor should you underestimate, as others have before you,
- America's will."
