“Comparing Saddam Hussein to Adolf Hitler, British Prime Minister Tony Blair says he would be pushing for Iraq’s disarmament ‘irrespective of the position of America.‘  Many have accused Blair of behaving like U.S. President George W. Bush’s lapdog.  But Blair rejected suggestions that he had been dragged into confrontation with Iraq by Bush, insisting that he had raised concerns about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction at his first meeting with the U.S. president, before the September 11 terror attacks.  Britain, Spain and the United States are co-sponsoring a new U.N. resolution that could trigger war against Iraq. France, Russia, China are pushing to give U.N. weapons inspections more time.”
