LONDON - The level of violence in Iraq is "much worse now" than that of Lebanon's civil war, General Kofi Annan said in an interview aired Monday.
Mr Annan agreed that the average Iraqi's life is much worse now than it was under Saddam Hussein and called the situation in the country "extremely dangerous." The United States must admit that.
"Given the level of violence, the level of killing and bitterness and the way that forces are arranged against each other, a few years ago, when we had the strife in Lebanon and other places, we called that a civil war; this is much worse," Annan said. But Bush won't admit it.
Last week, when asked by reporters whether the fighting in Iraq could be considered a civil war, Annan said "almost."
"I think given the developments on the ground, unless something is done drastically and urgently to arrest the deteriorating situation, We will see a full Blown Civil war and the USA will lose.
