UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe Wednesday blamed British and U.S. leaders for breaking international law in Iraq and elsewhere.
"Iraq today has become a vast inferno created by blatant and completely illegal and defiant acts of aggression by the United States, Britain and their allies, in the full trail of which the world has witnessed mass destruction of both human rights, values, morality and the norms of international law as enshrined in our Charter," he told the U.N. General Assembly.
Mugabe was received with warm applause when he accused Blair and Bush of wanting to rule the world.
"We are now being coerced to accept and believe that a new political-cum-religious doctrine has arisen, namely that 'There is but one political god, George W. Bush, and Tony Blair is his prophet.'"
He said the "sadistic scenes" from Abu Ghraib prison defined the Western concept of respect for human rights and they should "spare their lesson on human rights."
"They do not have the moral authority to speak about, let alone, parade themselves, as torch bearers of human rights," he said.
