Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe used a United Nations gathering in Rome to compare George Bush and Tony Blair to Hitler and Mussolini. He said they were "international terrorists" bent on world domination.

Departing from his text, at the celebration of the Food and Agriculture Organisation's 60th anniversary, he accused Mr Bush and Mr Blair of illegally invading Iraq and looking to unseat other governments.

"Must we allow these men, the two unholy men of our millennium, who in the same way as Hitler and Mussolini formed unholy alliance, formed an alliance to attack an innocent country?" he said.

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez turned his speech into a tirade against "the north American empire" which is threatening "all life on the planet" through pollution and climate-change problems.
