But, just hours after the American-led attack on Iraq began on Thursday morning, I spoke to Roman Joch, one Czech who is part of the other thirty per cent of the population that supports the war. Mr Joch is a political commentator from the Civic Institute in Prague, and he supports the war because he regards Saddam Hussein as a threat to his own people and the world. Mr Joch cites Saddam's Hussein's oppressive regime, his aggressive wars against his neighbours and his desire to amass weapons of mass destruction as the reasons why the Iraqi leader should be removed by war. But why does Mr Joch think that so many Czechs are opposed to a military attack? encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/protest_praha.jpg?timestamp=1590257558 https://english.radio.cz/roman-joch-support-war-against-iraq-8072030 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
