War against Iraq is immoral: Hawke

The former Australian Labor prime minister, Bob Hawke, says the prospective war against Iraq is immoral and stupid. Mr Hawke is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his election to office today.
He has told Lateline, there should be United Nation forces in Iraq.
"If they were there he would not be able to use weapons of mass destruction more so you'd be able to track them down do the job of isolating them, stopping them being made available to terrorists," he said.
"So if you can achieve those objectives other than by going to war it's immoral to go to war."
