U.S. Convenes Forum on Iraqi Future
Thousands Protest, Objecting to U.S. Involvment

A U.S.-sponsored meeting of Iraqi political and religious leaders debating the political future of postwar Iraq took place today near Nasiriyah -- the town that saw the most intense combat of the war. The shooting may have subsided, but if today's gathering is any indication, the struggle for power could be just as ferocious in a different way and could last longer.

Participants in the meeting -- selected by the United States and invited by the U.S. Army Central Command, which automatically makes them suspect to nationalist-minded Iraqis -- agreed to reconvene in 10 days. But this accomplishment was clouded by the fact that one of Iraq's most important Shiite Muslim groups boycotted the meeting, and thousands of demonstrators who objected to any U.S. role in Iraqi politics denounced the event with a noisy protest.

"No to America, no to Saddam," they shouted.

thought i'd help you out so it wouldn't sound so single-sided.

"I can assure you that, on behalf of the United States, and I think I speak for the coalition, that we have no interest, absolutely no interest in ruling Iraq. And we would like to see the establishment of an interim authority that can take increasing responsibility on behalf of the Iraqi people for their country to be established. We want you to establish your own democratic system based on Iraqi traditions, Iraqi values. This is a historic moment, I'm sure you realize, for Iraq, a historic opportunity for the Iraqis. I urge you -- I urge you -- to take advantage of this opportunity, to cooperate with each other, people who were overseas who are now coming back and people who have been here, and to establish a democratic system that fits your circumstances."

"This is up to Iraqis to figure this out," said Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "This is not up to the U.S. to support one faction or another faction, and we will not do that. We will work very, very hard to let this be an Iraqi issue. Iraq has to figure out how to govern itself in the future," he said at a briefing in Washington for foreign journalists.

winning the 'war' in Iraq was the simple part. I don't think that winning the peace will be very easy at all. There's too much intercommunal hatred for things to progress quickly. IN the end about the only thing most groups will be able to agree on will be hatred of the US and Britain as occupying powers

iraqi crowds now shouting "fuck the french and canada too"

You know what; I agree, however, in 10 years they will sstill hate us for NOT staying there. As long as we are 'Number One', any excuse they have to hate America, they will use it.

A year ago, these people who are now protesting would be dead or they wouldn't protest at all.

Interesting.

I hope they make the connection that the protesting is a freedom they've just gotten....from whom?

Why...that would be the Coalition of the Willing...although, I really wish they'd change that name.....

MrPopup,

Even the French are coming around. You're next!

"PARIS, April 15 (Reuters) - Many French have dropped their opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq since Saddam Hussein's fall and almost half believe France is now isolated because of its anti-war stance, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

Thirty-five percent of those surveyed said that in retrospect they believed the war was a good thing, up from 17 percent in a similar poll in March.

Forty-six percent said France, among the loudest critics of the conflict, now appeared isolated diplomatically."

So they are free to protest, as long as it not about the people who gave them that freedom?

I belive they call this Russell's Paradox

if you knew anything about polling and statistics, you'd know that they can be manipulated to produce any message.

OK ... Should we compare knowledge re: statistics? Where to begin?
