Bush acted as lone ranger: Sweden
|
STOCKHOLM - Sweden's Foreign Minister Anna Lindh said yesterday that US President George W. Bush had acted like a "lone ranger" on Iraq and warned that other countries could be tempted to follow America's example.
Like Sweden. Long have they been casting covetous eyes on Samoa... | Sweden has harshly criticised the United States-led war on Iraq, saying it did not have United Nations' approval. Ms Lindh reiterated that position ahead of her visit to Washington next week for talks with United States Secretary of State Colin Powell. "Today's broad security agenda demands new thinking and multilateral solutions," she told a Stockholm conference on Women and Security.
"Just look at all the good we've done in Africa with our multilateral solutions..." | "We can also see, I'm afraid, lone rangers in other countries, countries thinking that they can deal with all these very difficult issues by themselves and not having to work with others," she said, declining to give any names. "Nobody should try to be the lone ranger... That is a threat today that you can see in several countries, and the fear is that the United States action (in Iraq) will increase the idea that other countries can act militarily without involving the United Nations."
