イラク暫定首相が特に独仏に「目撃国」協力要請で日本？
独仏がアメリカ主導のイラク戦争に強く反対したことを承知の上の支援要請である。
日本は、味噌っかすじゃな。ポチ首相の国は、独立国とは見なされていないのである。

EUROPE
Iraqi Leader Asks Help of 'Spectator' Nations
By IAN FISHER
ROME, Nov. 4 - Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi, appealed Thursday to what he called the "spectator" countries in the war in Iraq - specifically France and Germany - to become more involved in creating peace and prosperity there.
"I want to take this opportunity to call on the countries which are content to have a spectator role, to help us build a better Iraq," Mr. Allawi told reporters in Rome, where he stopped on the eve of a meeting in Brussels with European Union leaders. Asked afterward if he was referring to France and Germany, strong critics of the American-led war, he told Agence France-Presse, "Yes."
Mr. Allawi is scheduled to meet in Brussels with President Jacques Chirac of France and Chancellor Gerhard Schroder of Germany in what could be an early test of any changing positions in Europe after President Bush's re-election.
Mr. Allawi said his comments were not intended to be critical, but to win as much support as possible to make a stable and democratic Iraq a reality.
"We know there were countries that were against the war in Iraq," he said. "But we have to look to the future and to forget the past. And I invite all these countries to build a commercial relationship with Iraq based on reciprocal interests and our partnership and friendship."
While in Rome, Mr. Allawi met with the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who repeated his pledge to keep some 3,000 Italian troops deployed in Iraq - the third-largest foreign contingent after those from the United States and Britain.
"Those who tell us to bring our soldiers out of Iraq, the Italian government would have to say, 'Well, then we should pull them out of all countries where we have soldiers,' '' Mr. Berlusconi said after his meeting with Mr. Allawi, Reuters reported. "That obviously is something that cannot be."
Mr. Berlusconi was referring to the roughly 10,000 Italian troops deployed on peacekeeping missions, mostly in the Balkans. His statement followed an announcement by Hungary on Wednesday that it would withdraw its 300 troops from Iraq after the elections early next year.
Mr. Allawi also met with Pope John Paul II, who in a short statement read by an aide said, "I wish to encourage the efforts made by the Iraqi people to establish democratic institutions which will be truly representative and committed to defending the rights of all."
The pope's statement did not touch on his own opposition to the war, but expressed support for Iraq's dwindling Christian population, the target of bombing attacks this summer.
In his remarks to reporters, Mr. Allawi also said he had no doubts about the commitment of the newly re-elected Mr. Bush to the American military presence in Iraq.
"We know that the United States is committed," he said. "The fight is really not only for Iraq. We are fighting on behalf of the world. We are fighting evil forces and terrorists all over."
"We believe that the United States will maintain course in supporting Iraq until the Iraqi forces are capable of handing threats and facing the challenge," he added.
As American warplanes continued striking Falluja - as a prelude to what is expected to be a broader military effort to gain control over the stronghold of resistance to the American forces - Mr. Allawi took pains to draw the distinction between insurgents in Falluja and the city itself.
"We don't have any intentions to attack Falluja, but we do have intentions to strike positions of instability inside Falluja," he said.
Europe Pledges $21 Million to Iraq
BRUSSELS, Nov. 4 (Reuters) - The European Union pledged more than $21 million on Thursday to support the elections scheduled for January in Iraq.
The action, on the eve of a visit by Mr. Allawi, to seek help in rebuilding his country, provides 16.5 million euros, or more than $21 million, to help train up to 150 Iraqi election observers, pay for computer support and send European Union election experts to Baghdad.
The new cash brings to some 31.5 million euros, more than $40 million, the amount offered by the European Union to support election activities in Iraq, and to 320 million euros, or about $412 million, the total cash support it has provided to Iraq in 2003 and 2004.
