... For international society to permit
Iraq to overwhelm a small neighbor and
to erase it from the map would send a
disastrous message."
Iraqi Ambassador Abdul Al-Anbari.
who had been attending as an interested
party, stalked out after the vote, saying
"boycotting a country by enforcing a
naval embargo as well as an air embargo
is an act of aggression, an act of war."
He said Iraq has "been practicing self
restraint because we know that if war
were to break out, it would destroy ev
erything in the region."
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard She
vardnadze. who presided at the special
council meeting, said war was an op

that peaceful ways will be found to find
a way out."

chorus of rage and indignation against
Iraq, calling the lightning takeover of
Kuwait an "act of terrorism" and warn

They said the fallout will be widespread
if oil prices should slay high for long,
running up the cost of practically every
thing while slowing economic growth
The New York Stock Exchange has
sunk to a 14-month low and gold has
passed $400 an ounce.
President Hush appealed on Tuesday
for a "generous response from the world
community" for countries hardest hit by
