Faisal al-Soufi writes in his article saying that few Arab countries have welcomed the new government of Iraq. Some regimes are still considering it a government satellite of the occupation describing it with the same phrases they were giving to the interim governing council. Everything in Iraq is heading for the better and finally the Iraqis would be able to overcome the problems resulted from the total collapse of the state , including the problem of terror hat is representing he major challenge to the new government there.
The war against terror would be fought on several fronts, legal and security. Iraq possesses of capabilities enabling it to make the terrorists feel disappointed and get defeated away from it to give the Iraqi people enough space to reconstruct their life anew.
The Arab regimes that appeared uncomfortable for the new situation in Iraq must try to approach Iraq and not to work for weakening its new government under their fears of the success of its democratic experiment built on ousting a regime by the power of occupation. The United States would not continue invading the territories in the same way it has pursued with the regime of Saddam for very simple reason which is that the whole world has become convinced in the direction of turning towards democracy and respect of human rights. There are no many countries still believing in the avail of possessing weapons of mass destruction and some of them discarded them.
