Columnist A'del Ahmed Saif writes saying what is happening now in Iraq was clear from the very beginning but it does appear and its ambiguity is removed day by day. America's intention was not riding the people of Iraq from the tyrannous ruler, as it alleged, or getting rid of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A few days ago Bush declared that he was not willing to relinquish Iraq as his father did in 199. And this is a clear indication and public disclosure of the American goals in Iraq.
What America has done and is doing in Iraq of killing, demolition of houses and terrorization of children and women as well as torturing of prisoners immorally has not been committed by Saddam Hussein himself who was accused of oppression and torture of his people. What has happened in Abu Ghraib prison is the best evidence of the American rancour on all of the Arabs and about the extent of America's readiness to suppress freedoms and oppress peoples for the sake of its interests. Here is Bush announces his deserve to be re-elected for presidency of America for a second term due to the bravery he has displayed in implementing the American schemes in the Arab region by coercion and humiliation. Despite the world reactions and denunciation of what is happening in Iraq of violations and crimes the Arabs have not show any response and their leaders have not uttered even words of denunciation or protest.
