"Americans have no place in Iraq"
For the second anniversary of the Iraq war, events are taking place all around the world, especially organized by the Anti-war movement. In Mumbai, India, an anti-war rally followed by a peace march is scheduled for Saturday March 19th. In this event, one person, Osama Hussein, seeks the support of Indians for a free Iraq. ‘‘We need your support. We don’t want to give our country to the British or to the US just to get rid of one dictator", Hussein told the local population of Mumbai. The Iraqi citizen, who says he was a victim of Saddam's regime, created a year ago the National Foundation Congress, Iraq, which offers peaceful resistance to American occupation of Iraq.
For Hussein, Iraq's oil was the true reason for the American invasion. ‘‘America wants to make Iraq a base in that region and then gradually move on to Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt,’’ he said. ‘‘This is just the first step.’’
