Iraqi leader says U. S. politics are poor
Bishop says church ‘lenient’
United Press International
KHURRAMSHAHR, Iran — The
commander of one of the first Iraqi
army units into Iran’s key port city
thinks Richard Nixon is a “bad man,”
Ronald Reagan is “not very good
with his mind” and the American
people are misinformed about Iraq’s
allegiances.
The commander sat on a cloth mat
in a shady concrete hut on the out
skirts of Khurramshahr drinking tea.
He passed around a box of Iranian
biscuits and began discussing Amer
ican politics.
“Carter is better than Reagan,” he
said without being asked. “Reagan is
an artist. He is not very good with his
mind.
“John Kennedy was a very good
man, and Lyndon Johnson was a very
good president for your people but a
very bad one for Iraq.”
What about Nixon?
“He was a vefy bad man — a bad
man. ”
Looking back to 1960, the middle-
aged Iraqi commander would have
had an unbroken allegiance to the
Democratic Party if he had the
chance to vote in the United States.
But in those 20 years, the com
mander said, the American voter has
been misled about Iraq, which was a
close ally of the Soviet Union.
“We think the people of America
are very good,” he said. “They make
everything beautiful. But their poli
tics are very bad.
“I believe if your politics would
change, we would be against Russia.
We don’t believe with Russia.
“Sometimes we are not with your
government,” he said. “Sometimes
we are not with Russia. We are with
Iraq. We are with our own people.”
Those people are the Arab people.
and the commander predicted his
troops would use the experience
gained in the war with Iran to help
aid the struggle for a Palestinian
homeland.
“We believe we will fight again in
another place — in Israel, for exam
ple,” he said. “We will not rest until
we have an Arab land.”
The capture of Khurramshahr was
one step in that struggle, he said,
because the town in Iran’s Khuzistan
province is predominantly Arab.
“The government of Iran moved
all the people out of this town be
cause they were afraid they would
support us,” he said, looking at a pile
of rubble a few feet away. “This town
is ugly. You know why? Because the
people of this town are Arab and the
government in Tehran does not like
them.”
Aside from a few Iranian snipers,
the commander said only one old
man and a white donkey were left in
a city, which once held 150,000.
“The donkey, his mind is like
(Ayatollah Ruhollah) Khomeini’s.
Khomeini’s soldiers are dead. He has
no money in his bank. So why does
he continue fighting? This is crazy,”
the commander said.
“The American government can’t
do anything with Khomeini, but we
do. He is under the feet of our sol
diers. ”

and prefect of the Vatican’s highest
court dealing with annulments, said
some couples obtained annulments
by going to more lenient bishops in
other countries after first being re
fused by strict local church leaders.
He said most annulments are
granted on grounds that one or both
of the partners are “psychologically
immature, (or) incapable of assuming
and carrying out conjugal obliga
tions, especially in regard to the uni
ty of lives and interpersonal rela
tions.”
Among the reasons the Catholic
Church considers valid for granting
annulments are coercion, mental
disorder, sexual impotence, insuffi
cient age, undissolved previous mar
riage and improperly performed
marrige vows.
Felici said the laxity in granting
annulments amounts to church-
approved divorce, “even if under
another name.”

Felici said the Vatican’s Supre?me
Court has begun to penalize ecclesia-
tical legal experts considered too soft
on annulment cases and recently
fired several church-approved lay
lawyers for actively seeking out
annulment cases.
In another thorny church problem
discussed at the synod, which was
called to discuss problems of the
modern Christian family, American
Roman Catholic bishops said
and women were equal in the eyes
of God and the church — but they
stopped short of saying women
should be ordained as priests.
The bishops said women through
out the world have enjoyed great
advances in realizing their “God-
given rights” but stressed the theme
of the synod was the problems of the
modem Christian family and not the
role of women in the Catholic
Church.
