Rather: What's the most important thing you want the American people to understand, at this important juncture of history?
Saddam Hussein: First, convey to them that the people of Iraq are not the enemy of the American people. If the American people would like to know the facts as they are, through a direct dialogue,then I am ready to conduct a debate with the President of the United States, President Bush, on television. I will say whatever I have tosay about American policy. He will have the opportunity to say whatever he has to say about the policy of Iraq. And this will be in front of the world, on television, in a direct uncensored, honest manner. In front of, as I said, everyone. And then they will judge what is true and what is false.
Rather: This - this is new. You - you are suggesting, you are saying, that you are willing, you are suggesting, you're urging a debate with President Bush? On television?
Saddam Hussein: Yes. That is my proposal. On films we see that the Americans are courageous. When challenged to a duel they will not back down. Just as the Arabs would not.
This will be an opportunity for him to convince the world, if he is committed to war. If he's convinced of his own position, this will bean opportunity for him to convince the world that he is right in making such a decision. It could also be an opportunity for us - to-- tell the world our own side of the story. And why we want to live in peace, and security.
I believe that it is the right of the American people, the Iraqi people and the world that we show our evidence clearly so that they can see for themselves. So, why should we hide from the people? Why shouldn’t we show them both perspectives? We as Presidents -- President of the United States, and President of Iraq. This is what I am calling for. We will either make peace, and this is what we hope for -- and spare our people harm, or whoever decides anything other than peace,will have to convince his own people with the facts. This is the -- the gist of my proposal, my idea.
