WASHINGTON - Nobel Peace laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, after meeting with President George W. Bush at the White House on Thursday urged Europe to confront Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.



"I believe it is the moral duty to intervene when evil has power and uses it," Wiesel said.

"If Europe were to apply as much pressure on Saddam Hussein as (it) does on the United States and Britain, I think we could prevent war," he said.

He said the Holocaust could have been avoided if the world had intervened in 1939, a time in history he compared to the current crisis with Iraq.

"He cannot have weapons, I think he has these weapons, because he would use them," Wiesel said, stopping short of comparing Saddam to Hitler.

Saying, "I am not a man of war," Wiesel said military conflict still must be considered as a last resort.
