Saddam starts to rebuild Iraq
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) —Sad-
lam Hussein appears to have
leutralized Iraq's Kurdish rebels
n his drive to cling to power in
he post-Gulf War turbulence
hat has swept his nation.
But the country's majority
ihiite Muslims, alienated by
iaddam's ruthless suppression
if their own ill-fated revolt, re-
nain a threat he cannot afford to
gnore.
A tentative agreement to give
he Kurds the autonomy for
vhich they have struggled for
iecades has given Saddam
>reathing space as he tries to
lold his ravaged country to-
ether with himself at its head.
Yet big problems remain,
apart from the festering hostility
of the Shiites who make up 55
percent of Iraq's 17 million peo
ple.
Saddam will have to contend
with growing demands for polit
ical reforms, the awesome task
of rebuilding Iraq and its shat
tered economy, overcoming a
humiliating peace treaty with the
U.S.-led coalition that liberated
Kuwait and preventing the de
spair of many Iraqis from degen
erating into hostility.
The televised hugs and kisses
exchanged by Saddam and the
Kurdish chieftains Wednesday
in Baghdad cannot mask the
deep hatred and distrust be
tween them.
Saddam has a history of mak
ing agreements when he's in a
jam and tearing them up when
he's in a posihon of strength.
And not just with the Kurds.
In 1975, when he was vice
president and wielded the real
power in Iraq, he was forced to
sign an agreement with Iran to
get the Tehran government to
stop backing the Kurds against
him.
In return, he had to am-ee to
share sovereignty of the Shatt-al-
Arab waterway, formed by the
confluence of the Euphrates and
Tigris rivers and Iraq's main out
let to the Persian Gulf.
It was a humiliation he never
forgot. Five years later, he went
on state television and physically
tore up that agreement.

morial service, punctuated by
the rumbling of jets and finished
with four F-14s flashing across
the cloudless sky.
Defense Secretary Dick Che
ney, who got the job the Senate
refused to give to Tower, came
to the service. So did Sen. Sam
Nunn, the Georgia Democrat
and Senate Armed Services
Committee chairman who led
the battle to deny Tower his
grandest ambition.
There were Cabinet secretar
ies, Texans, and Tower's two
daughters, sister, and first wife,
Lou.
"We gather today at this final
resting place of American heroes
to honor another worthy of that
title," said Senate Minority
Leader Bob Dole in recalling the
man who rose from enlisted
sailor to chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee,
from west Texas teacher to arms
negotiator.
When he died three weeks ago
in a commuter airplane crash in
Georgia, Tower was also a pub
lished author on his way to Sea
Island, Ga., to promote his bitter
memoirs. His daughter Marian,
35, who worked with her father
and was accompanying him on
the trip, also died.
"He had a sharp mind and el
bows to match," Sen. William S.
Cohen, R-Maine, recalled. "He
crunched more than a few toes
with his cowboy boots. But in
side that tougn exterior, you
could find the warmth and the
kindness of a good father and a
true friend and more than a
touch of melancholy and sad
ness as well."
British Ambassador Sir An
tony Acland remembered Tow
er's taste for things British, from
Savile Row suits and Jermyn
Street shirts to a special brand of
English cigarettes. He called him
a "stalwart friend" to his coun
try.
JERUSALEM (AP) — The Soviet Union
greed Thursday to join the United States in
, Colin, Brad, iponsoring peace talks between Israel and
ne Arabs.
But the outlook for such a conference re
named uncertain. After more than a week
3f shuttle diplomacy, Secretary of State
ames A. Baker III has gained agreement
neither on the format for negotiations or on
which Palestinian Arabs would attend.
Soviet Foreign Minister Alexander A.
lessmertnykh speaking at a news confer
ence in Kislovodsk, the Soviet retreat where
ie and Baker had been meeting, said:
"We intend to act as sponsors of that con
ference, and the fact that there are two ma
jor powers — great powers — that help in
getting that process under way would make
it possible for that process to move at a fas
ter pace,"
For his part. Baker said a Mideast peace
conference would not "be a successful un
dertaking — in fact, it will not even take
place — unless the real parties to the conflict
nave a true desire for peace."
It was not immediately clear whether the
arrangement was acceptable to Israeli Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Foreign Min
ister David Levy.
Baker flew from Kislovodsk, in the Cen
tral Caucasus, to Israel to get an answer Fri
day from Shamir and Levy on whether they
would also accept a role for the United Na
tions and ease the restrictions they want to
place on who would speak for the Palestin
ians.
"My honest feeling remains that there is a
genuine desire on the part of the parties for
peace," Baker said before leaving for Israel.
"My honest feeling is that there is a better
chance now than has been the case for quite
some time in the past."
