Many people across the Arab world are excited and amused that a black man with the middle name 'Hussein', who is pledging to end the war in Iraq, has become the Democrats' nominee for president of the US.
But in Iraq, which is preparing to receive Senator Barak Obama this weekend, a sense of realism prevails.
He said that he would have all US combat troops out of the Arab country within 16 months of becoming president.
All this, however, sparks fear rather than joy among many Iraqis across the political and sectarian spectrum.
Withdrawal of US troops is not a matter that can be decided solely by Obama, argues Hamid Fadhil, a senior political science professor at Baghdad University.
'This issue is part of a very carefully studied US strategy. We should not forget that the decision to unseat the regime of Saddam Hussein and occupy Iraq was not a decision taken only by the Republican Party,' Fadhil said.
'In fact, the legislation on the liberation of Iraq had been issued under the administration of Bill Clinton, who was a Democratic president,' Fadhil added.
Any withdrawal of US troops from Iraq should be decided after a careful consideration of the situation on the ground, the academic argued.

The Iraqis are smarter than Obama.
In fact, the Iraqis are smarter than 99.9999% of the entire dem party.
Cross referencing to an article with a Washington Post spin on this:
Iraqis Differ on Obama’s Plans

The Iraqis are smarter than Obama.
Exception … his faithful followers.
I guess they haven't gotten the memo that we can't win in Iraq, it's hopeless, and that the DemocRats don't want to win!
And smarter than the Dems and Libs!
How strange that a foreign country is MORE in sync about what is best, not only for them, but for the US and the Free World.
A day? Two days? How long is Obama going to be in Iraq? Long enough to state he’s been there? He’ll listen to what he wants to hear, and won’t listen to that which he doesn’t want to hear.
He’ll come back and say “we will pull out of Iraq” just as he says today, but DA’s across the spectrum will say “He’s been there, he knows that of which he speaks”.
We’re better off if he doesn’t go.
A three toed sloth is "smarter than Obama"!

PS It doesn't take a great deal of candlepower to out shine Mr. O.
Since they are so moved perhaps we should give Obama to the Iraqi’s. He won’t need to change his name, they could call him Barack Hussein.
They’re not the only ones.
True, true.
LOL
Possibly, but they are certainly better informed about the situation in Iraq.
