To the perplexity of oppressed peoples of Iraq (Kurds and Arabs), some of the european political leaders as well as ( peace loving) movements continue to make the case against the declared intentions of the United States to bring about a regime change in Iraq, using the excuse of the international law and the role of United Nations to disarm Iraq and misusing the misery of the Iraqi peoples shamelessly for local electoral purposes (like Mr.Schroeder did!) or even shaking their heads in astonishment and denying all together that the good hearted Saddam Hussein even possesses weapons of mass destruction ( as Mr. Putin lately declared), or as the ( old friend) of Saddam Hussein, Mr. Chirac , vehemently opposes any new united nations resolution which threatens the use of force to uproot the most barbaric regime in the face of history, just to keep the good (business) with the iraqi regime going on, stepping with his shoes on the misery and endless suffering of Iraqi peoples under Saddam Hussein.

The peoples of Iraq, both Kurds and Arabs, have always thought, that the Western culture stands for justice and human rights and despises tyranny and despicable dictators, yet the reality seems to be otherwise, and that the smell of Saddam`s Petro-Dollars( the stolen wealth of peoples of Iraq), can gain a lot of influential friends like Schroeder, Chirac, Putin and many alike which are portraying the blood thirsty regime of Saddam Hussein as the innocent victim of the American hegemony and imperialism!!, just as the Iaqi people began to realize and anticipate that the Americans are serious this time in finishing a job they should have finished 11 years ago, if they did not have to listen to detrimental (advice) of friends in the region like Saudi Arabia and probably the same culprits Russia and France, to let the regime of Saddam intact and to avoid putative destabilization of the middle east when a ruthless dictator is gone, what an admiring political wisdom when brutal dictators and genocide perpetrators are the guaranty of stability!!.

The organized demonstrations in some western countries are pathetic, for it includes not only the dogmatic leftists, supporters of anti globalization, but also the hard core of Islamic fundamentalists which see Usama bin Laden as their Patron, and those which thrive on anti-American sentimentalism as well as Palestinian radicals which applaud the murderous Palestinian suicide bombers who kills innocent civilians in Israel.

One thing the American administration must be sure of, the peoples of Iraq are seeing the American intentions as plans of liberation and freedom for them, they see the Americans as their friends, and are looking forwards to cooperate with the Americans and not hypocritic greedy European politicians, to liberate their country and to rebuild it economically as well as to establish a democratic pluralistic and federal country which respects its own citizens and be a useful member of the international community.

The regime of Saddam Hussein is fragile and bound to collapse and the peoples of Iraq are waiting for the definitive unequivocal decision of the American administration to end the regime, before they do their part to liberate their country.
