Saddam vs. Bush and Blair (Published on 2003-03-27 Posted on 2003-03-38)

The war against Iraq is a battle between Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush and his ally (盟友),Tony Blair .

Saddam Hussein,65,has set up his 1 over the past 20 years .For 2 reasons, Saddam has several look-alikes .It's believed that , since the mid-1990s, Saddam has become unreasonably， 3 of being followed after many murderous attempts against him.

When citizens 　4 　him, they use only nickname (绰号)for fear of 5 .They refer to him as〝uncle" or〝the old man who talks too much ."

Even though the allied forces, 6 by the US, drove Iraqi troops out of Kuwait in the 1991 Gulf War ,Saddam's now describing the Gulf War as a 7 .

George W. Bush, 56, is a man of strong 8 and little self-doubt qualities that have made him a 9 leader in the war on terrorism.

He has expressed a personal hatred for the Bush family's long-time 10 , Saddam Hussein. He is 11 the country part of an〝axis of evil(邪恶轴心)".

Since September 11, he has 12 the world that 〝you're either with us, or you're with the 13 ." The war against Iraq could finish what his 14 started in the 1991 Gulf War.

Tony Blair,49,is seen by some as George Bush's foreign minister, or even his pet dog .He has much in 15 with Bush .While Bush is 16 for his mispronunciations and verbal slips (口误),Blair is 17 as one of the better international political speakers of the day.

He'd never talk about his personal life as 18 as Bush does .He's leading one of the great old working class parties of Europe ,the Labor Party, whose 19 are very different from Bush's .But now his political career (生涯)depends on whether the war can be won 20 and with few casualties (伤亡)on both sides-and that depends largely on the US president.
