Bush Vision of Iraq at Odds with Arab Allies
(Christian Science Monitor) Dan Murphy and Nicholas Blanford - Salah al-Din Hafez, a columnist for Egypt's government-owned Al-Ahram daily, wrote on Monday that "whatever the final outcome of the elections...they lack legitimacy and credibility. First, because the elections took place under the supervision, control, and protection of a foreign occupation force, and second, because the majority of Sunnis boycotted the elections." Without the Sunnis, "the fate of Iraq cannot be decided nor can there be any talk of a legitimate government or a meaningful constitution," he wrote.
