Iraqis Complain U.S. Has Too Much Power

[True_Blue]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi citizens barraged their U.S.-picked leaders with concerns over U.S. domination over Iraq (news - web sites) at an open forum Sunday, saying they feel Washington holds too much power and will continue to after the creation of a new government June 30.

"During the rule of the former regime, the order was do what the leader says and don't argue. Today the rule is, do what the White House says whether you argue or not," Salam al-Nasiri, a Baghdad Shiite, told a panel from the Iraqi Governing Council.

"Maybe you should direct this question to George Bush," panel member Mahmoud Othman shrugged in reply.

He and two other council members appeared before a forum of about 100 Baghdad residents at the Convention Center, a huge building inside the "Green Zone" complex housing the headquarters of the U.S.-led coalition.
