As part of President Bush's aim of a post-Cold War "new world order", the US lobbied hard to achieve unanimity in condemnation of Iraq around the globe. Most crucial was to have Iraq's fellow Arab states inside the coalition the US was now assembling against Iraq. With more Security Council resolutions being passed against Iraq without Soviet or Chinese veto, the coalition decided against negotiations with Iraq. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Next News News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

Islamic Iran's stance was crucial, given Saddam's appeal to Muslims to rally against the "infidel" invaders. Despite Saddam's movj in August to remove himself from a two-front war by abandoning claims to Iranian territory and making peace, Iran remained neutral Jordan, economically dependent on Iraq and with a substantial Palestinian populace sympathetic to Iraq, observed the UN embargo, but sought negotiations 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Next News News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews
