No case for war against Iraq, say Asians
AFP
SINGAPORE: Asians are not convinced that the evidence released so far by the US and Britain is sufficient to mount a war, according to a regional poll published on Monday.
An overwhelming 85 per cent of the lawmakers, academics and business leaders interviewed in the Straits Times AsiaPoll said they opposed military action against Iraq without a UN mandate.
The poll was conducted last week when British Prime Minister Tony Blair released a 50-page dossier accusing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of hiding weapons of mass destruction, and the US said Iraq has helped train members of al-Qaeda in chemical weapons development.
