Prime Minister Tony Blair said Wednesday he remains committed to holding elections in Iraq as scheduled on Jan. 30. "I am committed to it, yes, because I think it is extremely important that the terrorists don't gain a victory," Blair said in an interview on British Broadcasting Corp. radio. "The vast majority of Iraqis want to participate in these elections." Recalling his visit last month to Baghdad, Blair said that "when I talked to the United Nations organizer there, he said that he thought that everybody including Sunnis wanted to participate. "The question is _ and this is what this conflict is now about, it's not about us versus Saddam, it's about a group of terrorists and insurgents who want to stop the Iraqi people having the democratic say."
