From an editorial:

Many Arabs are split between two contradictory political forces. They deny
the right of the American-led coalition to control Iraq’s future and they
resent the way in which the coalition is wasting its opportunities and is
not incorporating Iraqis into the government fast enough. Yet at the same
time they are grateful to the coalition for removing the shocking regime,
and giving an opportunity to build a new Iraq which would not have been
imaginable before the invasion. The Arab world cannot simply ignore the
brutality of Saddam’s regime. The fact that it happened has to be accepted,
and blame taken for not speaking up against it should also be accepted, so
that the region can move on to a better future based on more honesty and
transparency.
