| British Prime Minister Tony Blair says a new United Nations Security Council resolution is needed to help ensure the creation of a stable and democratic government in Iraq...Blair said Britain was determined to see a transition to a stable, prosperous and sovereign Iraq state, and saw the United Nations playing a key role in this process...He said the international community wants a broad-based Iraqi government that is "representative of the Iraqi people, not a dictatorship, not some fanatical government that’s going to threaten the security of the Iraqi people and the rest of the world." Blair said a Security Council resolution would likely be necessary to achieve those goals. "The circumstances will require us at some point in the near future to have a new United Nations Security Council resolution that will allow us to plan this way forward of political transition in Iraq," Blair said. |
