Desmond Tutu calls on Bush and Blair to apologize
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
In his recent book, Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu challenges world leaders.
He calls on Bush and Blair to apologize for misleading the public and saying that as a result of the war, "The world is a great deal less safe than it was before." He says, "President Bush and Mr. Blair would recover considerable credibility and respect if they were to say, 'Yes, I made a mistake.'"
Claiming President Bush was oversimplifying when he labeled Iran, Iraq and North Korea as an "axis of evil," Tutu said "People buy into that because they don't want to sit down and work out the complex nature of things."
While visiting a death row inmate in Texas Archbishop Desmond Tutu claimed that the death penalty is "an absurdity that brutalizes society." Death row inmate Dominique Green, Tutu says "is a remarkable advertisement for God. This is not the monster that many would wish, or think, that is on death row."
