| Description | Successful Elections Seen as Way to Alleviate Muslim Anger

Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said yesterday that the insurgency in Iraq is getting worse and that the U.S. occupation there has increased anti-American sentiment in Muslim countries, but he said successful elections in Afghanistan and Iraq would turn the situation around.
"We have seen an increase in anti-Americanism in the Muslim world. We'll not deny this," Powell said on ABC's "This Week." "But I think that that will be overcome in due process because what the Muslim world will see . . . is that in Afghanistan, 10 million people who have registered to vote will vote on the ninth of October and bring in place a freely elected president.
"And I think we're going to do the same thing in Iraq if we stay the course, if we defeat this insurgency," Powell said.
He acknowledged that "yes, it's getting worse, and the reason it's getting worse is that they are determined to disrupt the elections." |
