Tutu Urges Obama Apology on Iraq

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has warned Barack Obama of the risk of squandering the goodwill he says the US president's election has generated.

Desmond M. Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of South Africa, gestures while speaking during the closing session of the the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Sunday, Feb. 1, 2009. In an article for BBC News, he says it would be "wonderful" if Mr Obama apologised for the invasion of Iraq. (AP Photo/Keystone/Alessandro Della Bella)
