NEW YORK - US President George W Bush declared Iraq and Afghanistan to be on the road to democracy and stability on Tuesday and said they would become models for reshaping the entire Middle East.
In an address to the annual session of the UN General Assembly six weeks before the US presidential election, Bush vigorously defended his decisions to invade the two countries and urged the world to do more to support their reconstruction.
"Not long ago, outlaw regimes in Baghdad and Kabul threatened the peace and sponsored terrorists. ... Today the Iraqi and Afghan people are on the path to democracy and freedom," Bush said.
"These two nations will be a model for the broader Middle East," he said, playing down turmoil in both countries as they prepare for elections.
