Gorbachev Calls US-led War in Iraq a 'Great Mistake'
Excerpt:
"Democracy is not imposed with tanks and missiles, but with respect of other peoples and international law," Gorbachev said.
The war has also wounded US relations with traditional allies, the former Soviet leader said.
"Nobody doubts the economic, military and democratic power of the United States," he said. "We recognize this and that (Washington) can be a world leader. But we do not believe in leadership through domination."
