The Iraqi people did not invite the U.S. government to invade their country. The U.S. government said it is attacking Iraq to find Saddam Hussein's regime and also destroy WMD [weapons of mass destruction].
But now they didn't find any WMDs, Saddam Hussein's regime is gone but the U.S. has stayed on.
So what has been the effect of the U.S. presence in this five years in Iraq?
The negative effects are plentiful. The negative effect of the U.S. presence on the Iraqi people: hundreds of thousands killed, ethnic and tribal differences have increased. The Iraqi country has been left behind from the development train. Millions of Iraqis became refugees. Problems inside Iraq have created worries for the neighbors of Iraq.
The costs of the Iraq war has been paid out of the U.S. nation's pocket. Were there American people satisfied with this bill that is around a trillion dollars? The U.S. government now owes $900 billion, every American whether small or big, owes 30,000 U.S. dollars. A big number of the sons of the nation of America are involved in an unwanted war. As you see, the American nation was against this war.
So it is obvious that this is an unjust war, and against friendship, brotherhood and kindness.
This was number one. There are more instances.
If the United States government exits Iraq, and respects the rights of nations, if it acts in this directs, it will be become closer to Iranian policies.
This is one example.
Number two.
Making untrue accusation against the Iranian peaceful nuclear program. The IRI has a very clear cooperation with the IAEA [the International Atomic Energy Agency] and is following the rules of the IAEA and the IAEA has many times declared that it has not detected any diversion in the Iran nuclear program. The peaceful nuclear activities of Iran are easily open to inspection by the inspectors of the IAEA.
In spite of the NIE report that states that Iran has not diverted to nuclear weapons, in spite of all of these reasons they are still accusing Iran of diverting its program to building nuclear weapons.
