ON THE VERGE OF WAR
Exclusive blitz-interview of the USA ambassador in Tajikistan
to "Varorud" newspaper

Every day the attention of the world community is riveted to the events in the largest states as a current day of the planet is connected immediately with the policy and economy streamlines of these countries. The United States of America are among the latters. As for the events of world importance taking place there they include an annual message to the USA Congress and the issues concerned with a designed military operation in Iraq. We present a blitz-interview with the USA ambassador in RT Mr. Franklin Huddle to our renders.

- In his speech the USA President called a number of measures on improvement of social life conditions for Americans. Are the items enumerated a program of actions or will resolutions be passed on these suggestions?
- The USA President annually makes a speech appealing to the nation for the Congress. He dwelt on such programs as succor to children subjected to risk through a creation of a corps of peace and increase of resources for narcodependence treatment. The president's message will be addressed to the Congress as suggestions, which may be endorsed by the Congress or not.
- According to the account on human development the USA take the fourth place on human development index. At the same time the report tells a lot about the growth of unemployment, inadequate tempos of economics. What is the aim of the USA president's social policy?
- In his appeal to the nation in 2002 the president invoked the Congress to work for the benefit of efflorescence the results of which are to be distributed among wide layers of population, to reinforce internal programs vitally important for our country and to be prompt to resist any threats the American people may be faced with. The aim of the president lies, first of all, in the economy of the country, which should be developing rapidly enough to provide job vacancies for each man and each woman who are eager to work. At the same time Bush supports such human features as compassion and aid to fellows-beings - Americans are supposed to help their country-people through teaching students-invalids and children of convicts.
- What is the practice of assignation from the state budget for diverse objectives? Are president's suggestions in an annual message enough for it?
- The process of state budget formation begins after the president has offered a budget project to the Congress. The Congress contemplates the budget and ratifies one of its versions. The president should sign the budget adopted by the Congress or return it to the latter for complementary consideration in case of disagreement. The appeal to the nation doesn't point to the number of suggestions, it deals with concrete things the president hopes to do for the country working jointly with the Congress.
- To what extent is the problem of drug addiction president Bush paid no few attention to, serious for the USA? Can any concrete data be called?
- The problem of drugs is a global one in its seriousness. The president considers that the combat against narcotics should be wages in the direction of rendering help to those who became narcodependants. He proposed to accord federal funds for an inquest of a number of variants in order to cure people from narcodependence.
- How can the USA president's mistrust in the results of the investigation concerned with IAAE mission in Iraq be accounted for?
- As the chief of the State Department Collin Powell declared "the problem doesn't lie in how much time inspectors need to search in the dark. The problem lies in how much time Iraq is to be given to switch on light and go out of the dark".
- In his report George Bush prepares the nation for "a resolute hour", "dangers and sufferings of war". Does it imply an inevitability of a military action in Iraq?
- War is not inevitable at all. We still continue to hope that Iraq may be disarmed peacefully but up to nowadays Iraq hasn't fulfilled any requirement in conformity with UNO resolution 1441. The clauses of the resolution are presented not for conducting negotiations on them, so Iraq can't opt where and how it wishes to fulfill the terms. Resolution 1441 forwards two simple tests: accordance of authentic, complete and precise information and immediate, unconditional and active collaboration. Iraq hasn't passed any of these tests.
