I am hopeful that Saddam Hussein can be convinced to follow his obligations under Resolution 1441, that we will be able to rid that country of weapons of mass destruction, should they exist, and that the people of his country will not suffer the terrible calamity of war, because it is always the citizens, and rarely the leaders, who suffer those calamities.
J'espère que Saddam Hussein se conformera à la résolution 1441, afin de débarrasser l'Irak des armes de destruction massive, s'il en possède, et d'épargner à sa population les horreurs d'une guerre, car ce sont toujours les citoyens, et non pas leurs dirigeants, qui en sont les victimes.
