Iraqis holding out for real sovereignty

Baghdad - When the United States formal transfer of sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government was televised on Monday, some Iraqis on a bustling downtown street dismissed it as a cosmetic change in a country destabilised by occupation.

But others said the handover was a step in the right direction, and called on Prime Minister Iyad Allawi to take stern measures to restore stability.

"We are happy. Although Allawi was chosen by the Americans, at least now we have some sovereignty," said Mohammed al-Daraji, a driver for a transport company.

ALL of the San Jose/SF TV stations are jumping with excitement and grand praise of the 'spectacular' handover '2 days early'.

If someone doesn't sue the media than we are nothing and don't deserve to be a nation! Like 2 days has any meaning. It's NOT sovereignty. It's 100% puppet master. And if our the greatest country in the world, with the greatest military in the world, with the greatest pResident in the world, with the greatest planners in the world... could only squeeze in 48 hours in all of this time then we're really in big trouble. Look at the total chaos.

I believe the ONLY REASON WAS TO DO IT BEFORE THE MASSIVE ATTACK THE REBELS HAD PLANNED! It had nothing to do with preparation.
