Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader The Dalai Lama today said US President George W Bush had been very informal and did not have any air, but his use of force in Iraq was wrong.
The Buddhist monk, who fled Tibet in 1959 and was granted asylum in India the same year, said he had reservations about using force.
"President Bush junior was very informal. He did not have any air as the President of America. But his use of force in Iraq to bring democracy was wrong", he said at an interaction session organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce here.
He wanted to bring democracy in Iraq but his method was wrong, the Nobel peace prize winner said adding that it sent a wrong message to the Muslims.
"Bush could have spent more money in the education of the Muslims by giving away scholarships. Things would have been different then," the Dalai Lama said.
