Iraq Celebrates Sovereignty Day

The Iraqi government daily Al-Sabah writes about the manifestations of happiness which prevail in the Iraqi street on the eve of the U.S. forces' withdrawal forces from Iraqi cities.

A variety of programs with song and dance are planned for today.

As is customary on these occasions, poets will read their poems extolling Iraq's history, civilization and glories, and the unity of its people.
