'We've failed to build new Iraq'

"ATTEMPTS at nation-building in post-war Iraq have "failed totally", the Polish prime minister warned yesterday, as the death toll since the start of the conflict among coalition troops reached 2,000.

Marek Belka, the Polish leader and a key player in the United States-led coalition, accused planners of mistakenly basing the reconstruction of Iraq on the same model used for Germany after the Second World War. "
