Re: U.S.-Led Coalition Shuts Down Iraq Paper

Who opposes U.S. withdrawal from Iraq? The position of the Communist
Workers Party - and apparently that of many Iraqis - is for a UN
force without the U.S. to replace the U.S.

And if Iraqis had overthrown Saddam, that would have their
undertaking, not that of a foreign power, which destroyed the state
and most other institutions of Iraqi society.
