Message from Saddam Hussein to U.S. - September 15th 2001
"America needs wisdom not force. Will the rulers of America try wisdom just for once so that their people can live in security and
stability?"
Saddam says he doubts the White House would respond violently if the attackers were from a Western country.
"Just like your beautiful skyscrapers were
destroyed and saddened you, beautiful
buildings and homes dear to their
peoples were damaged in Lebanon,
Palestine and Iraq by American weapons,
some of them used by the Zionists."
