Mr AWADALLAH says the war could be seen to be bringing stability or instability.
He says it's difficult to think of any good coming from any war anywhere, but especiallyin the Middle East.
Mr AWADALLAH says the key to Middle East stability is resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict.
He also says there would be tragic consequences if the war went beyond Iraq, to Iran or Syria.

Mr AWADALLAH says American policy is unpopular on the Arab and Jordanian streets becauseit's seen to be one-sided over Israel.
