Iraq violence 'a sign of success' From correspondents in Washington April 17, 2004 THE violent insurgency in Iraq was a sign the US-led coalition was succeeding in its efforts to rebuild post-Saddam Iraq, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said today. "We are trying to reconstruct the country," Blair, who met US President George W. Bush earlier in the day, said in an interview with NBC television news conducted at the British Embassy in Washington. "Now, why are these people trying to stop us? They're trying to stop us because they can see that if we're allowed to continue this progress, then everything they stand for is defeated." Asked about similar remarks in Iraq yesterday by General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Blair said: "I know exactly what he means ... it's something I constantly say to people." He said those at the root of the insurgency in Iraq were trying "to provoke a situation in which there's such chaos that they can tip the country into general disorder". news.com.au
