| Inside Iraq - Lessons of War - 03 Oct 08 - Part 1 |
 |
Inside Iraq asks what lessons the world has
learnt more than five years into the American
military misadventure in Iraq.
It is often said that history repeats itself.
The Vietnam war in the 1960s, which dragged
on for 14 years, is an almost direct parallel
to the invasion of Iraq.
The route to Baghdad, however, was far more
complicated.
The war split the western super powers and
the UN.
George Bush, the US president, and Tony
Blair, the former British prime minister,
were convinced that the UN's blessing was not
necessary to invade Iraq, prompting Kofi
Annan, the then secretary-general, to label
it an illegal war.
Critics charged that the biggest lesson of
the war was the deception over Saddam's
supposed weapons of mass destruction.
Our guest this week is Lord David Owen, a
former British foreign minister.
