PORTSMOUTH, R.I. Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev warns that tensions between the United States and Russia are reversing diplomatic gains made by both nations following the Cold War.
Gorbachev spoke to reporters Saturday before giving a speech at the Carnegie Abbey Club in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
The former Communist Party chief and leader of the U-S-S-R says hard-liners in both countries are erasing the goodwill developed since Gorbachev effectively dismantled the Soviet Union. He says the U-S must look at Russia as a partner rather than a failed superpower.
Gorbachev didn't address U-S policy in Iraq, but says Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was a "creature of the West."
