"Mr President, the international community welcomed the results of the referendum as an important stage in the course of the democratisation of Iraq. It is indeed, if you look no further than the degree of participation and the arithmetic aspects of the results. However, I fear that everyone is shaping their own fictitious reality for Iraq. However, we cannot ignore the actual reality in Iraq, because the serious security vacuum continues to exist. Instead of the centrifugal trends of the national and religious communities gradually weakening, they are strengthening and undermining the objective of the national unity, identity and sovereignty of Iraq. The majority of Sunnis are consciously outside political processes. The process of political reconstruction is leading to the creation of a loose state of at least three speeds. On the one hand, we welcome progress towards a democratic Iraq and, on the other hand, a theocratic Shiite regime is being established in the south and the quasi-independence of the Kurds is being established in the north. The consequences for peace and stability are obvious. Under these conditions elections are being planned to promote the new Iraqi parliament. However, I fear that the wishes and hopes being expressed here today do not correspond to the harsh reality of the military occupation and the serious strategic mistakes which the United States continues to make. There is an old saying in Arabic: 'Better a hundred years of tyranny than one year of chaos'. While the tyranny of the Hussein regime has been overturned, the conditions being created on a daily basis are pushing Iraq into long-term chaos."@en1
