ΛΟΝΔΙΝΟ (AFP) - Hans Blix, ο προηγούμενος κύριος επιθεωρητής όπλων των Η.Ε, χτύπησε τον πόλεμο του Ιράκ ως «τραγωδία» και τον κατηγόρησε στους ηγέτες που αγνοούν τα γεγονότα, σε ένα σχόλιο δημοσιευμένο κομμάτι Thursday.Writing στο φύλακα στην πενταετή επέτειο εμάς-οδηγημένη

At the time of the Iraq war, Blix accused the US and Britain of exaggerating the threat from Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s alleged “weapons of mass destruction” — traces of which have never been found.

In his comment piece, he said the war was a “setback in the world’s efforts to develop legal restraints on the use of armed force between states” and added that in 2003, “Iraq was not a real or imminent threat to anybody.”

Blix wrote that had coalition troops not deposed Saddam, “he would, in all likelihood, have become another Kadhafi or Castro; an oppressor of his own people but no longer a threat to the world.”

He said that one positive sign to emerge from the conflict was that “it may be that the spectacular failure of ensuring disarmament by force, and of introducing democracy by occupation, will work in favour of a greater use of diplomacy and ’soft power’.”
