Russia Says War in Iraq a Mistake and Illegal

Replies: Talking

Our PM is getting hammered today by the critics - as par the course I suppose. Yes it could hurt our relations with the US but our PM did this because the majority of our country and other government officials were opposed to this war without the UN approval. I am proud of him for standing up, it couldn't have been easy.

Loud applause is an understatement.
Extremely loud and long.
