LONDON, June 19 (UPI) -- Foreign policy is no longer restricted to "a few elites," British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said in an interview with The Guardian.
"You cannot have Rwanda again because information would come out far more quickly about what is actually going on and the public opinion would grow to the point where action would need to be taken," he said.
The interview with the embattled prime minister, which covered a number of areas, is to be published this weekend.
Brown talked of how Twitter and other ways of communicating electronically have been used in Iran this week, subverting the government's efforts to keep demonstrators from getting publicity. He said the Internet era is "more tumultuous" than previous ones as a result.
"Foreign policy can no longer be the province of a few elites," he said.
