Mikhail Gorbachev interview; Part 6 of 7 ENGLAND: London: INT CMS Mikhail Gorbachev (Nobel Peace Prize winner / Former Soviet President) interview SOT (Answers questions in Russian, translation provided) Q: I DON'T NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT AFGHANISTAN / YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT AFGHANISTAN CAN DO TO A COUNTRY THAN ANYBODY ELSE ON EARTH / THE WAR ON IRAQ, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU APPROVE OF - There is no justification for war on Iraq / it's a mistake / the political and diplomatic means were not used to sort out the problems in the situation / frankly I think that with political and diplomatic means we could have eased out Saddam Hussein and brought about regime change / so it was not done right Q: AND HAVING GOT INTO THIS MESS, HOW DO WE GET OUT OF IT - Well first of all I believe that it is good that dialogue between the United States and allies such as Russia, Germany and France was not interrupted / I believe that it is right that the matter is back in the Security Council, that the Security Council is again asked to take the necessary decisions / it is important to act on the mandate of the UN Security Council, and to move to winding down the occupation and restoring real sovereignty of the Iraqi people / I think we should give the Iraqi people a chance to decide on their government, so let's not drag on the presence of the coalition forces / as I wrote to the Pope, President Bush and the leaders of Saudi Arabia there is a real danger that if things go on like this that we will see at some moment a religious war / we after all have a coalition of mostly Christian countries in Iraq, which is an Islamic Country / that is a big danger and my recommendation is to move faster and to move toward political, economic and social rebuilding of Iraq / restoring the political sovereignty of the Iraqi people is the only solution.
