Opinion: Rejection of Bad Announcement

Prime minister Ibrahim al-Ja'fari's logical decision to boycott the Cairo conference after Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak declared that Shia Iraqis (are loyal to Iran) represents the political blocs' national positions that rejected the infamous declaration. Iraq, and especially the Shia, is well-known for its patriotic citizens who back no one but their country and who reject any kind of imperialism. The declarations will not help Egypt's supposed role, as the largest Arab country, in aiding the Arab world and finding solutions to the region's crises. Iraq is religiously diverse and abusing any group might encourage blasphemers and terrorists to create a civil war affecting the entire region. Iraqi political blocs have the right to feel angry about accusation that they are loyal to a foreign country.
