Israel 'may rue Saddam overthrow'
(BBC NEWS, February 9, 2006)
The head of Israel's domestic security agency, Shin Bet, has said his country may come to regret the overthrow of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. . . . Yuval Diskin said a strong dictatorship would be preferable to the present "chaos" in Iraq, in a speech to teenage Jewish settlers in the West Bank. . . . He also said the Israeli security services and judiciary treated Arabs and Jewish suspects differently. . . . When asked about the growing destabilisation of Iraq, Mr Diskin said Israel might come to rue its decision to support the US-led invasion in 2003. . . . "When you dismantle a system in which there is a despot who controls his people by force, you have chaos," he said. . . . "I'm not sure we won't miss Saddam." . . . The security chief was also asked to compare the treatment of Jews and non-Jews by Israel's security and judicial establishments. . . . "I do not see equality in the way the system handles them when they are guilty of the same type of offence," he said. . . . "If I had arrested a terrorist from Nablus and Eden Nathan Zaada [an Israeli army deserter who shot dead four Israeli Arabs on a bus in August], they wouldn't have received similar treatment in interrogation or court."
