Iraq Government Includes Terrorist Killer of Americans

Is this what we are fighting for:

Iraqi and American officials confirmed today that a sitting member of the Iraqi parliament is the same man who was convicted of planning bombing attacks on the American and French embassies and other sites in Kuwait in 1983. Five Americans were killed and 86 others were wounded in those attacks.

Whose side are they on:

The Iraqi government has been critical of recent raids by American forces, in which Iranians working with diplomatic offices in Iraq have been detained.

The Americans have accused some of those Iranians of supporting illicit armed groups in Iraq, but the raids have been embarrassing to the Iraqi government, which has been encouraging foreign diplomatic missions — in particular Iran’s — to increase their presence here. Iraqi officials have distanced themselves from the American raids, while Iran has simply termed those operations kidnappings.
