BAGHDAD — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas won assurances Sunday that Iraqi leaders will protect Palestinians living in Iraq — including thousands stranded in desert refugee camps — during his first visit to the country since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003.
The visit marked a major step in improving ties between the Shiite-led government of Iraq and the Palestinian leadership, which had warm relations with the ousted regime of Saddam Hussein.

........I wish Iraq took the position of some (one) Gulf state and would have said to Abbas that he is not welcome for being collaborator. But it is impossible for the countries that are so close to the USA (Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, KSA) to break free and have a different thought.
