BLUR drummer DAVE ROWNTREE has legitimate reasons for "not shedding tears"
over the war with Iraq after his girlfriend's mother was kidnapped by Saddam
Hussein. The musician's girlfriend Michelle de Vries had to fly to the Middle
East to release her mother Daphne Parish - the nurse who was arrested with
journalist Farzad Bazoft by the Iraqi dictator in 1989. Bazoft was executed
for confessing to be an Israeli agent and Parish was jailed for fifteen years,
but released four months later following a plea for clemency from Zambian
president Kenneth Kaunda. Rowntree tells London's Time Out magazine, "My take
on the war was that Saddam was a horrendous murdering dictator and thought
nothing of killing his own people and at that time he had to go. "I'm not a
pacifist, I do believe that some things are worth fighting for, and dying for.
I understand that that's easier to say, I'm not being the one who's asked to
die, but Saddam was such an illegal ruthless b**tard I didn't shed any tears
for it (the war)."
