savannah, ga., June 9 (reuters): British prime minister tony blair, the main u.S.
Ally in the war in iraq, hailed the approval of a new u.N.
Resolution on iraq as an important milestone.
The world community speaking with one voice has given its support to the new iraqi government ...
It has also expressed its clear support for the timetable to democracy and the holding of elections next year,'' blair yesterday told reporters covering the group of eight summit.
This is an important milestone for the new iraq.
We all now want to put the divisions of the past behind us and unite behind the vision of a modern democratic and stable iraq that can be a force for good, not just for iraqis but for the whole region and thus the whole world,'' he said.
There will be difficult and dangerous days in the coming weeks and months but there should be no doubt about what it is that we want to be happening in iraq or our collective determination to bring it about.''
