"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Tony Blair today talked about the threat Iraq poses to the world.

``Iraq poses a real and a unique threat to the security of the region and to the rest of the world,'' Blair told a news conference. ``This is not just an issue for the U.S. It is an issue for Britain and the wider world.'' Blair said Saddam was violating United Nations resolutions and was continuing ``in his efforts to create weapons of mass destruction.''

``We cannot have a situation where people turn a blind eye,'' he added.


How does he feel about the way the US has been handling the situation?

``If Sept. 11 teaches us anything, it teaches us that it is wrong to wait until the threat materializes,'' he said. ``These issues are being raised rightly by the United States.''

He also announced that Britain would be issuing a dossier on Saddam sometime in the coming weeks.
