Yesterday we all witnessed the scenes in the Iraqi capital Baghdad following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Whatever the views of Members of both Houses on the war, and its legitimacy or otherwise, I hope we can all agree that the future of Iraq belongs to its people. We all wish that there will soon be no Americans in Iraq and that Saddam Hussein, the Ba'ath Socialist Party and all the trappings of the regime will be gone. The Iraqis are a proud people with considerable talents in a country rich in resources. We hope that such a future can be achieved.
