British Prime Minister Tony Blair has appealed for more international support for Iraq and urged quick reform of world bodies such as the UN, World Bank and IMF to tackle future crises such as Iraq....
"The war, I know, split theworld. The struggle of Iraqis for democracy should unite it," saidBlair in a foreign policy speech at Georgetown University....
"I don't want to repeat or to reopen past arguments. I want to advocate a new concord to displace the old contention," said Blair, who visited Baghdad this week to meet the new government.
Blairsaid nations may not agree with the original decision to invade Iraq,be critical of mistakes made by the coalition or wonder if it was allworth the sacrifice.
"But surely we must all accept this is a genuine attempt to run the race of liberty," said Blair.
