Our Party condemned, as it has done every time, this criminal act which reveals the US administration's obstinate and unrealistic policy in dealing with the Iraqi issue. This policy has aimed at using the complexities of this to serve US strategy and its special schemes in the Middle East, regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict, and denying the Palestinian people their right to establish their independent national state with Jerusalem as its capital. This aggression comes as part of the series of air raids which have been going on for ten years and has provided the dictatorial rulers in our country with pretexts to be used for winning sympathy and diverting attention from the suffering of our people as a result of repression and terror. Our Iraqi Communist Party believes that military acts and air strikes cannot resolve the Iraqi issue, that is if they will not further complicate and prolong it. As such, they not only harm our people but even provide the dictatorial regime with more opportunities to capitalise on the situation with demagogic slogans. For the regime deliberately escalates tension and stirs up crises and confrontations as an attempt to get out of the state of impasse in its relationship with the UN. It is time that an end is put to these brutal practices, and that means are found which respond to the legitimate aspirations of our people and are in accordance with international law to resolve the problems faced by our country. While wishing to inform you about the grave developments in our country, we look forward to intensifying your solidarity with our Iraqi people in their struggle for salvation from the international economic blockade and dictatorial rule, putting establishing end to influence by international powers in our country's affairs, and establishing the democratic alternative which ensures peace and stability in Iraq and the region.
