Annan: Iraq Situation is Worse Than Civil War

HeadlineDec 05, 2006

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan is warning the situation in Iraq is now much worse than a civil war.

Kofi Annan: “Given the level of the violence, the level of killing and bitterness and the way the forces are arranged against each other, look at—a few years ago when we had the strife in Lebanon and other places, we called that a civil war. This is much worse.”

During an interview on the BBC, Annan said he also understood why some Iraqis regret the fall of Saddam Hussein.
