Iraq Opinion : US Puppet Regime Unwelcome

BAGHDAD - The interim Iraqi prime minister is following in the footsteps of the previous president. The rule of US-appointed Iyad Allawi is now more in the style of the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein than a leader of a supposedly democratic state.

Most Iraqis celebrated the overthrow of the regime of Saddam. But under what has developed into a brutal and bloody occupation, people are turning against Allawi as they turned against Saddam - some even call him "Saddam without a mustache".
