"It is the widespread opinion in Russia that such action by the United States, as for instance the campaign against terrorism, is merely a pretext for penetrating regions free from US presence," he added. According to Arbatov, "if the US materializes its threat of striking on Iran and Iraq, the region will be swept by instability." Such a development will cause the United States not to be restricted to bombings alone, claims the deputy, but a ground-based operation will draw into the conflict neighbouring countries and the Taliban may revive, concluded Arabatov. The Russian MP suggested that an international anti-terrorism conference should be convened to lay down a legal basis for combating terrorism and pooling the efforts of different institutions in this bid. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
