`ONLY PAWNS': Ordinary people in Iraq feel excluded from the post-war political process and are skeptical about the resolution aimed at ending the US-led occupation

The UN Security Council resolution formally ending the occupation of Iraq drew few cheers in Baghdad, where skeptical people consumed by security fears and economic hardship said they knew nothing about it.

"Is the resolution going to give us electricity or water? I doubt it," Eman Abdullah, a 30-year-old policewoman, said yesterday. "We are not involved in any decisions anyway. We are just pawns."

The UN Security Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to adopt a US-British resolution which formally ends the occupation of Iraq on June 30, passing sovereignty back to Iraqi authorities while allowing US and coalition troops to stay.

1. I am not at all surprised, the Iraqi people can spot a sham...

when they see one. They have a long history of shams being perpetrated on them, occupations, etc. They would be experts at knowing the difference between the truth and a lie.
