A freer Iraq?
Fayed Ahmed, Shamoli, Dhaka
I have gone through a letter by Mahmood Elahi published on Daily Star dated July 19. I disagree with him on the following points:-The Iraqi people will be the real beneficiary of Saddam........ ouster. -Iraq may be on the way to become a freer society. I would like to explain my disagreement on the first point. I believe everybody understands that the real beneficiary will be the US led coalition force, not the common Iraqis. Mr. Bush's main interest is oil not restructuring Iraq. So "the Iraqi people will be the real beneficiary" sounds like a cock and bull story. Virtually the White House will rule Iraq. Is it what freedom means? I have no hesitation in stating Iraq as a modern colony of America. It seems freedom is still a far cry for the Iraqis.
