Arabs happy over French stance
DUBAI Stiff opposition to US war plans against Iraq has won France widespread praise in the Arab world. "France is seeking to give a chance to a political settlement while being committed to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1441" on Iraqi disarmament, waxed Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr Abdullah Al Kurbi. "Whether or not it succeeds in convincing the United States to abandon the use of force, France will be perceived as a country that has defended the UN Charter till the end."
Mohamed Said Idriss, from Cairo's Al Ahram Centre for Strategic Studies, said France and Germany were seeking to "attenuate US influence in Europe."
"The United States is trying to impose its diktat on the world ... the position of France is based on a refusal of US hegemony," said the editor of Egyptian weekly Al Usbu, Mustapha Bakri.
"France is also trying to safeguard its good relations with the Arab world."
But Ahmad Chalabi, who heads the United States-backed Iraqi National Congress opposition umbrella group, lashed out at France and Germany for blocking US aggression plans.
