Anti-war group to take to streets over Iraq handover

Now this is funny.

The Evening Advertiser, a Wiltshire, UK, local paper is reporting on an upcoming anti-war protest next Wednesday.

The protesters claim that, ""It is a stunt for the American presidential elections.

And

"The American occupation army will stay, and all the key decisions will still be taken by the Amer-icans."

This despite the fact that the Iraqis want and back their new government.

Some key numbers.

68 percent of Iraqis have confidence in their new leaders

73 percent of Iraqis polled approved of Allawi to lead the new government

84 percent approved of President Ghazi Yawar

two-thirds backed the new Cabinet

Four out of every five Iraqis expected that the new government will "make things better" for Iraq


So, the anti-war movement want to protest against an Iraqi government that is backed by a vast majority of the Iraqi people themselves!

First the anti-war movement want to deny Iraqis their freedom and when the US gives them that freedom, the anti-war types don't want them to have the government of their choice. And they say the US is meddling in the internal affairs of Iraq!
