Media magnate backs U.S. stance on Iraq
Tue Feb 11, 1:22 AM ET

SYDNEY, Australia - Media magnate Rupert Murdoch believes U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) is making the right moral decision in standing up to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).



"Well, we can't back down now, where you hand over the whole of the Middle East to Saddam and I think Bush is acting very morally, very correctly, and I think he is going to go on with it," Murdoch, head of the News Corporation media empire, said in an interview with respected Australian magazine The Bulletin.

"The fact is, a lot of the world can't accept the idea that America is uniquely the one superpower in the world," he added in excerpts of the interview released Tuesday. The magazine was due to hit news stands on Wednesday.

Australian-born Murdoch is now a U.S. citizen.

Murdoch said if Bush won any war with Iraq, and if the U.S. economy was then healthy there would be no question about his re-election for a second term.

"He will either go down in history as a very great president or he'll crash and burn; I'm optimistic it will be the former by a ratio of two to one," Murdoch said.

Murdoch also praised British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) for his "extraordinarily courageous and strong" stance on the Middle East.
