 From the first minutes after the collapsing of Saddam's statue on 9 April 2003, Iraqis from different social classes know thoroughly the groups and parties which refuse any real change in Iraq, which it was oppressed by tyrannical Saddam's regime for more than three decades, furthermore, Iraqis realize the reasons that force the rejecters to this unjustifiable rejection, there is no explanation, except they are slighting any progress, or hindering any project, which it is in the end bolsters Iraq, and will lead to extrication of Iraq from current quagmire to another situation boosts its complementary project for the operation of change and development. Therefore, we find the focusing on defining of what is known at the people is wasting time, and it does not lead us to achieve the long-sought goal in culturing and enlightening.

 Therefore, the reasons which we see them clearly from the parties which they are overtly refusing the federalism, specifically founding of the province of southern Baghdad, are because of the political, intellectual indigestion of those parties and movements which their political activities began through the Iraq's fledgling democracy after 9 April 2003, although these parties have large numbers from the masses, who were under multifarious types of oppression and tyranny at the Saddamist era, also these parties still do not care seriously about the ways which ensure fulfillment of the ambitions, hopes of those masses in promoting the political and economical fields in Iraq, furthermore, these parties until now do not realize the miserable, catastrophic status of the Iraqi cites, and they do not endeavor to supply suitable services and stable climates for a good life without refusing the order and laws which are considered illegitimate by their political and religious leaders. Finally, the political rejection from these parties for the project of southern Baghdad province is nothing more than illusions and misleading things which were founded by Saddamist regime and planted in minds of much of Baathist thought's sacrifices and those who are endeavoring in one Arabian nationality.
