@:re|;:|:@ Baghdad Qgerations Center of Iraq which took place from the first Gulf War to the most recent one. Hussein questioned why the UN implemented UNR 687 in such a harsh manner against Iraq, while other UN resolutions, including those against Israel, were not enforced. Hussein ended this portion of the discussion saying, "If we were to bring a professor from a college in the United States to Iraq, he would agree with my observations regarding UNR 687, with the exception of the issue of the sovereignty of another country Kuwait!." >81 During a lengthy dialogue with the interviewer regarding UNR 687, Hussein made several statements. He acknowledged UNR 687 passed and Iraq agreed to deal with it." Regarding destruction of weapons, Hussein stated, "We destroyed them. We told you, with documents. That's it." when questioned about Iraqi restrictions placed on locations visited by UN inspectors, Hussein replied, "What places?" The interviewer told Hussein numerous locations including the Ministry of Agriculture, to which Hussein replied, "By God, if I had such weapons, I would have used them in the fight against the United States." The interviewer pointed out that most accused persons who are innocent agree to a full and complete examination of the details of the accusation. Once cleared, the accused party would then provide evidence of any mistreatment during the investigation. Hussein stated, "This is not a question, it is a dialogue. Good." Cgf Hussein opined that the United States used prohibited weapons in Vietnam. He asked whether America would accept Iraqis inspecting the White House for such weapons. Hussein stated any such search would likely find nothing. He added, "A country that accepts being violated will bring dishonor to its people." Negotiation is the normal method of resolution of any disagreement particularly among nations. Negotiation is the "way of the UN.; when emphasized to Hussein that the international community greed that Iraq had not complied with UNR 687, he responded that Iraq believed there was something wrong with "the international way." The United States convinced the world of its position regarding Iraq. Regarding further discussion, Hussein commented, "I must prepare an answer in my mind, so that it does not come in pieces. Let's leave the past where it is, not that we agree, but to maximize our time." fvi
