Cheney: Turkey a Model for Muslim Countries

Cheney met with the Pope John Paul II in Rome earlier this week after participating in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, his second in his term as vice-president.

He said that the pessimism felt about the Muslims is baseless by emphasizing that most of the Muslims live in the democratic society.

Reminded that no weapons of mass destructions have been found in Iraq, the original pretext of the U.S. operation, he said he did not regret going to war, even though the existence of the weapons could not be proved.
