BRUSSELS, Belgium Nov 5, 2005 — Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger warned against an early withdrawal of U.S.-led coalition forces from Iraq, saying such a move would bolster insurgents and terrorists worldwide, causing instability across the Middle East.

He also warned that European Union nations and Washington needed to find another way to get Iran to stop the development of its nuclear program, which the EU and US fear is being used to make nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Kissinger, in a speech Friday to top NATO officers and officials, said Iran's nuclear program and terrorism continued to pose a tough challenge for trans-Atlantic ties, and warned also that Iran could use nuclear weapons as a way to protect itself while continuing to promote terrorist groups.

"They (weapons) can become a shield by which to step up terrorist actions," said Kissinger, who was secretary of state and national security adviser under U.S. presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He retains substantial influence in foreign affairs, and continues to have close links to the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush.

Yea Henry we all know about that dreaded Domino Effect. WAR CRIMINAL!

murderers of innocents across the globe crawled out of their holes yet? Do these people ever die - good grief!! When will someone put all of them on a secret plane and send them to the Hague.

Iraq was OUR fault.

Iran is another story, but I think they're just a big mouth on legs trying to goad * into action because they know it'll kill our economy.

Don't forget, * said "Bring it on". Looks like he's getting what he wanted too...

How can that booger-eating old war criminal get in and out of Europe without being arrested?

He has such a great record of humanitarian work.

I thought that the war criminal had stopped travelling in Europe out of fear he might get the Pinochet treatment and get served with an indictment as a war criminal.
