Sesungguhnya berbeda sekarang daripada perang dunia II dulu di mana 
US membantu dan melawan penjajahan Jerman dulu. 

   Tetapi sekarang tidak seharusnya mendukung Presiden US untuk 
memerangi di Irak, karena US telah banyak melenceng dari jalan benar. 
Terlalu memikirkan keinginan untuk mempertahankan keberadaan US dan 
hanya memikirkan perang terhadap Teroris. Ternyata ada dari mereka 
belum cerdas dalam mendengar amanah masyarakat DUNIA untuk lebih 
mengutamakan solusi, perdamaian dan penyelesaian konflik. Artinya 
bentuk kegiatan US sudah dapat tergolong menganggu keselamatan 
masyarakat Irak dan membangun para pejuang Irak. Seharusnya US dan 
para pejuang sama sama tidak usah memerangi. 

   Dan kepentingan ekonomi dan kehidupan benar benar harus di tangan 
masyarakat Irak dalam aspirasi dan tujuan hidup. Jadi bagaimana 
wewenang pemerintahan Irak dalam koordinasi kabinet dan Presiden Irak.

  Tidak perlu ada dukungan G-8 terhadap US tetapi seharusnya dukungan 
terhadap MASYARAKAT IRAK!

  Sesungguhnya besarnya azab pembalasan di Akhirat dapat untuk pihak 
pihak yang hanya tidak mempertanggungjawabkan penderitaan masyarakat 
Irak dan mementingkan sesat utk tidak ingin memikirkan solusi. 

wassalam,

Bush Urges G-8 Leaders to Do More in Iraq 

SEA ISLAND, Ga. - President Bush (news - web sites) appealed to his 
big-power allies Thursday to do more to guide Iraq (news - web 
sites)'s transformation into a stable democracy, saying the "Iraqi 
people need help" to defend themselves, rebuild their country and 
hold elections. 

Bush's comments, made after a private meeting with a skeptical French 
President Jacques Chirac, came as the annual Group of Eight summit 
was winding down � without Bush winning any additional commitments of 
help on Iraq. 

Yet two of his toughest war opponents hinted they are willing to talk 
about an expanded NATO (news - web sites) role if the Iraqis request 
it. 

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder reiterated that his country will 
not send troops to Iraq, but told reporters that Germany would not 
block other countries if they decided NATO has a larger role. 

Chirac has strong reservations about the idea, but is open to 
discussions before a NATO summit at month's end, French officials 
said. 

The lingering differences over Iraq clearly extended into Chirac's 
meeting with Bush, who acknowledged past differences with the French 
president but told reporters, "Friends are able to discuss the 
future." 

Bush said he and Chirac discussed "whether or not there is a 
continued role for NATO" in Iraq. 

"We understand the Iraqi people need help to defend themselves, to 
rebuild their country and, most importantly, to hold elections," Bush 
said. 

When his turn came to speak, Chirac did not mention the dispute over 
Iraq but spoke instead of how much he had enjoyed the G-8 summit, 
particularly the food. "Over the last few days, this cuisine here in 
America was certainly on a par with French cuisine," he said. 

"He particularly liked the cheeseburger he had yesterday," Bush 
quipped. 

Chirac responded: "Excellent." 

A French official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said different 
points of view remain on whether NATO's participation should 
grow. "For us, it would be awkward to raise the flag of NATO in 
Iraq," the official said. 

Bush aides said they expected to find some common ground on the issue 
before a NATO summit this month in Turkey. 

The administration also is looking for upcoming talks to produce a 
breakthrough on forgiving a substantial portion of Iraq's estimated 
$120 billion in foreign debt. 

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is prepared to "eliminate 
the vast majority" of the Iraq debt that Japan holds if other members 
of the Paris Club of wealthy creditor nations do the same, said 
Japanese delegation spokesman Jiro Okuyama. 

After the summit wraps up with African leaders, Bush and others were 
leaving this exclusive beach resort for Washington to attend the 
state funeral of former President Reagan. 

Tens of thousands of people filed by Reagan's casket lying in state 
at the Capitol Rotunda. Bush is to see the casket Thursday evening 
when he returns to Washington. 

On Africa, powerful leaders of the United States, Britain, Canada, 
France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia endorsed a proposal to train 
and where necessary equip 75,000 new peacekeepers in the next five 
years. 

The Bush administration also won backing from major allies for a 
proposal to accelerate development of an HIV (news - web sites) 
vaccine, and the president on Thursday proposed spending $15 million 
to launch it. 

After weeks of bad news out of Iraq, Bush was able to claim a victory 
as the summit began, when the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday 
approved a resolution granting legitimacy to the new Iraqi interim 
government. 

Bush invited Iraq's president, Ghazi al-Yawer, to the summit and 
talked with him about Iraqi reconstruction and the country's 
relations with Syria and Iran, said a senior administration official 
present at the session. 

Iraqis with close ties to Syria should try to persuade Syria "to be 
more responsible" in guarding its border to keep militants from 
entering Iraq, said the official, who spoke on the condition of 
anonymity to avoid upstaging the president. 

During a picture-taking session, al-Yawer told Bush that his country 
was "moving in steady steps" toward democracy. 

The G-8 leaders on Wednesday adopted a compromise version of Bush's 
plan to push democracy across the greater Middle East, but tied such 
an effort to resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict, at European 
insistence. 

The plan aims to spur democracy by providing support to grass-roots 
groups, training 100,000 new teachers over the next decade and 
providing loans to fledgling entrepreneurs. 

While all countries endorsed the aims, European countries grumbled 
that they have been pursuing many of these goals for years in the 
Middle East. 

And many Arab countries remained suspicious of the whole enterprise, 
seeing it as unwanted meddling by the Bush administration. 

Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri warned that Western governments 
should not work through non-government groups in Arab countries 
because such an effort "could turn counterproductive." 

But the government of Jordan, whose king attended the G-8 summit, 
welcomed the help, saying that Arabs recognized the need to address 
deficiencies in education, civil rights and the role of women "that 
continue to hinder the attainment of the potential of the Arab 
people."
