Arab Leaders May Push for Saddam Exile By SALAH NASRAWI, Associated Press AMMAN, Jordan - Arab leaders looking for a way to avoid a U.S.-Iraq war they fear would ignite their volatile region are considering the possibility of pressing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to step down and go into exile. But the diplomats say the idea has not yet coalesced, and it would be useless to make such an offer until Saddam believes he has no other no option. 'There is a strong feeling that the United States is after Saddam and not after weapons of mass destruction and therefore efforts should focus on how to persuade Saddam to leave,' one Arab diplomat said on condition of anonymity. While newspapers have carried reports of offers made to Saddam to flee to Egypt or Libya, even Cuba or North Korea, no government has commented officially on the prospect.
