blair confesses at last, says daily
<<I think "bad body" was meant to be "bad boy">>
tehran, jan. 13, irna -- while leading policy-makers of the islamic
revolution were busy planning the course of the nation's future, the iraqi
regime waged a full-scale war against iran with direct or indirect
military, financial and political help provided by most of the major
western countries including u.s. and britain, wrote an article in the
opinion column of the english daily 'tehran times.'
u.s. and britain in fact showed quite different attitudes towards iraq's
military aggression against iran in 1980 and its attack on kuwait in 1990
as these two countries were not even ready to admit that iraq was the
aggressor in its war against iran, noted the daily.
however, when the ''bad body'' pointed his gun at west's satellites in the
region in 1990, it apparently became a potential threat to israel, wrote
the paper adding that the same ''bad boy'' has now put western countries in
such a difficult and embarrassing situation that they had no other
alternative but to swallow the bitter pill of confessing that ''iraq was
the initiator of war against iran....''
however, if the confession by british premier tony blair had been made in
the 80's the west and the regional countries would not have fought a very
costly war against iraq in 1991 which still has no end in sight, pointed
out the paper in conclusion. fh/ks end ::irna 13/01/99 11:11
