- THE war in Iraq has posed a greater threat to the Iraqi
people and the world than Saddam Hussein, former UN chief weapons inspector
Hans Blix said in remarks published here on Tuesday.
-
- "The positive thing is that Saddam and his bloody
regime are no longer in place," he told Danish daily Jyllands-Posten.
-
- "But when one does the math, there are more negative
effects, when it comes to the many who were killed during the war and the
many who continue to die because of terrorism, which the war has created
fertile ground for.
-
- "The credibility of Western governments and the
UN's authority have also been damaged. The war has freed the Iraqis from
Saddam, but the cost has been high," he added.
-
- "(US President George W.) Bush has claimed that
this war was part of an American fight against terrorism. But instead of
limiting (the phenomenon), the war has generated more terrorism... This
conflict has led to more instability."
