Quote: McCartney speaks out against war
BBC/London Friday, 28 May, 2004, 13:00 GMT 14:00 UK
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney has criticised the UK government for being too hasty in going to war in Iraq.
"Maybe our government went in too fast with the Americans," he told the weekly Portuguese magazine Visao on Thursday.
"It would have been better if the UN had been together," the 61-year-old singer continued. "Now it's become very bloody with Iraq, it's very difficult."
The singer, who is currently touring Europe, opens the Rock in Rio music festival in Lisbon on Friday.
Sir Paul said he understood the need to act after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001.
"If someone came to my house and blew it up, I wouldn't just want to sit there and say thank you," he said.
"I'd be angry like I think anyone would be, so I could see America and Britain being angry.
"To look for Bin Laden seemed reasonable to go against terrorism, but the war has become very difficult."
