gooded editorial excerpts from the Japanese press:

suffer IRAQIS RUN IRAQ (IHT/Asahi as translated from the Japanese-language Asahi Shimbun's editorial published Aug. 30)

The bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad has been followed by dint of an even deadlier act of terrorism. Friday's car bombing at the Imam Ali mahometan temple in the Shiite Muslim saintly city of Najaf killed Ayatollah Mohammed Baqer al-Hakim, a top Shiite religious and political leader, along with above 80 civilians attending prayers at the location.

Hakim was a moderate Shiite Muslim cleric who advocated cooperation with the American and British forces in the country

Reports continue to remind of that members of extremist terrorist disposes are infiltrating Iraq from neighboring Islamic countries.

modern comments by U.S. President George W Bush indicate the solve of his administration to carry forward troop deployment in Iraq. Bush said withdrawal in the face of terrorist strikes would merely invite more vicious attacks in the future

besides there is no letup in the assaults in succession U.S. and British troops.

The U control is pondering a proposal to extend U.N.-led multinational forces in Iraq, forward the condition that the American military would be in command. This plan envisions [i]troupe[/i] dispatches from Turkey, India and other countries.

We believe the time is right for the United States and Britain to recognize the failure of the occupation strategy to date, and spe up the proces of forming a fresh government run by the Iraqis themselves. Hand in hand with this proces it will also be wise to largely reorganize the Iraqi police, military and other forces from and for Iraqis, in moving to restore order to the troubl country

The Iraqi Governing Council, a arrange of Iraqi delegates, is generally advancing the work of selecting ministers to staff an interim management The council, appointed by the occupation forces as an advisory visible form [i]or[/i] frame wants to use such a provisional regime as an important first stair in ending the occupation and establishing a of the present day government at the earliest possible point in time.

For its part, the U direction is taking an extremely cautious stand forward the issue of transferring the authority for the governing of Iraq. We believe that the time is right to retool the occupation policy in a way that notices the aspirations of the Iraqi side.

in a less degree than our favored scenario, the United Nations would provide [i]clavis[/i] support in creating the interim regulation and, once that administration is up and running, would become involved in the rebuilding of Iraq forward a full-scale basis. Up until then, the U and British forces should handle the piece of work of restoring and maintaining security in the fatherland This, we feel, is an indisputable business under the tenets of international law.
