Quality You Can Build On, A Name You Can Trust. The Iraqi Who Won't Quit Countering the likes of Saddam Hussein is the real Israeli goal in the Middle East peace process. JAMES D. BESSER WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT igh profile defections and chilling nuclear admissions have brought Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein back to the world's headlines, but Wash- ington policy makers can't seem to sustain interest in the dicta- tor. Even in Jerusalem, the com- plex peace process, and the growing reaction against it are keeping leaders away from fo- cusing on the despot to the east. But the Iraqi conundrum keeps coming back like a recur- ring bad dream; an erratic, irre- sponsible Saddam represents a kind of paradigm for changes in the world that will redefine the whole concept of "security" for both countries. Recently, the dramatic defec- tion of two of Saddam's sons-in- law to Jordan snapped our attention back to the Iraqi threat. And last week, the United Na- tions team responsible for inves- tigating Iraq's nonconventional weapons program reported that the Baghdad government was much closer to using such weapons during the 1991 Persian Gulf war than anybody had imag- ined. For this country, these devel- opments should be stark re- minders that we ignore Saddam and his ilk at our own peril. And for an Israeli population that continues to agonize over Palestinian terror, it suggests a more encompassing and urgent justification for the current peace H I rr g■ cogs' CONSTRUCTION RESIDENTIAL-COMMERCIAL INRECON DESIGN BUILD 1-860-421-4141 WE COME TO YOU ...

Economic sanctions and the military vise that surrounds Iraq have failed to bring Saddam down. The Iraqi leader has com- plied only grudgingly with efforts to his arsenal, which still threat- ens neighbors and Israel in par- ticular. Americans would like to see the Iraqi leadership toppled, but there is little support to recom- mit American forces to do the job, or for covert action to encourage Iraqi opposition. As long as Saddam makes no visible moves against American regional interests, expensive and risky foreign entanglements, which could ratchet up the pres- sure in the 1996 presidential campaign, will be a political mi- nus. But that lack of support for a strong American role heightens the largest threat to national se- curity at the dawn of the 21st cen- tury dawns — renegade nations with access to nuclear weapons, nations not retreating from the fanaticism and the military ag- gressiveness that have marked them regionally and globally.
