U.N. sends chief in hopes to resolve coni
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N.
chief Kofi Annan will head to Bagh
dad to try to resolve the conflict with
Iraq, but Washington has warned
that it will not accept a settlement
that doesn’t give U.N. inspectors full
access to all weapons sites.
After several days of intense ne
gotiations, the United States gave its
conditional endorsement Tuesday
for the trip, which could be the last
chance to solve the crisis peacefully.
The secretary-gjteneral an
nounced his decision just hours af
ter President Clinton laid the
groundwork for a possible air strike,
saying in a televised speech that the
U.S. military is ready to carry out its
mission and “the American people
have to be ready as well.”
“We wish Annan well. He is a
very good diplomat,” U.S. Ambas
sador Bill Richardson said today on
ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Still, he added, “We want to make it
very clear we have the right to op
pose a potential deal that would
harm our national interest.”
Annan said he made the deci
sion to travel to Iraq on his own, but
said he has the support of all five
permanent members of the Securi
ty Council — the United States,
France, Britain, Russia and China—
which must ratify any deal.
Annan said he did not ask for a
mandate from the permanent
members but did seek clear direc
tion about what he could discuss
with the Iraqis.
“What I wanted was an under
standing and a basis that will help
my mission and make it successful
and that if I come back, that every
body will be on board,” Annan said.
Russian President Boris Yeltsin
said today the visit was “extremely im
portant,” the ITAR-Tass news agency
reported, quoting presidential
spokesman Sergei Yastrzhembsky.
Foreign Ministry spokesman
Valery Nesterushkin said Annan’s
visit would not be the last chance
for a peaceful settlement, according
to the Interfax news agency.
Diplomatic sources said the per
manent members remained divided
over details of a possible settlement.
The inspectors must certify Iraqi
compliance before the council will
lift crippling economic sanctions
imposed in 1990, when Saddam
Hussein’s troops invaded Kuwait,
touching off the 1991 GulfWar.
Iraq claims it has destroyed all
banned weapons and that the
special commission has deceived
the council to keep the sanctions
in place.
Annan’s decision to travel
came after ambassadors from the
United States, France, Britain,
Russia and China met several
times in the past week to try to
narrow their differences.
Several formulas have been
proposed. One would have in
spectors from the special com
mission, known as UNSCOM, be
accompanied by diplomats on vis
its to presidential sites.
Others would have Annan ap
point a new group of inspectors,
some of which could be from UN-

Dark side of Deng’s legacy deepens after his deal
BEIJING (AP) — Spotting the
green-uniformed police, two dozen
scruffy-looking men fled their dai
ly chore of seeking work.
“Finding a job is really hard,”
one breathless fugitive, a farmer
named Cui, said before hurdling
over the side of an overpass and
scurrying down a bank to seek cov
er under the bridge.
Job-seeking migrants such as
Cui are among the most common
byproducts of China’s reforms.
Crowding into already clogged
cities by the tens of millions, they
form the darker side of a legacy that
has raised skyscrapers and in
comes across what was one of the
world’s poorest countries.
In the year since the Feb. 19,
1997, death of reformist patriarch
Deng Xiaoping, the unintended ef
fects of his two-decade effort have
worsened. Corruption remains
rampant, gaps between the newly
rich and bedrock poor are widen
ing, unemployment is soaring and
social ills such as prostitution and
drug abuse are spreading.
“Deng Xiaoping was the archi
tect, but he solved only the prob
lems of tlie first period of reform. He
left behind a lot of other ones for his
successors to solve,” said Wang
Shan, an author and political com
mentator.
A man of Deng's revolutionary
credentials and achievements
commands influence even in
death, and his political heirs in the
ruling Communist Party are not
letting Thursday’s anniversary of
his passing go quietly.
In ways solemn and kitsch, Chi
na is celebrating the man and the
statesman. Stamps, video compact
discs and books bearing his like
ness and words are being pro
duced. Symposiums on his policies
are being held. Even an exhibition
of portraits done in needlepoint
embroidery has been staged.
“We stand on the great man’s
shoulders. The great man’s shoul
ders carry the hopes of one peo
ple,” intoned the party’s flagship
newspaper, People’s Daily, in a
front-page homage Wednesday.
The thrust behind the memori
als, syrupy, sentimental ones in
cluded, is the same. Deng’s heirs are
seeking legitimacy in his mantle
and pushing ahead with more
pragmatic economic reforms
