Highly tendencious. Hope MNCs and oil lobby are not active through innocent people in miserable exile. If Iraq was a Haven, the writer would not have sought refuge in Egypt. Saddam was horrible but the 'occupation' has killed over a million Iraqis besides many times more of maimed/ displaced hmaun beings. Iraqis must assert their sovereignty.
