		The present Iraqi governing council lacks credibility in the eyes of most Iraqis; since the council members were basically appointed by the United States.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Region \| A chance for the council?
		First of all I think the Governing Council needs to be given time, no one should pass judgment on the Governing Council until it has functioned for a number of weeks, until it has appointed interim ministers, in other words until it has played fully its role and organised itself.
		We are entering a new phase, I repeat give this council a chance and I am convinced that they will demonstrate that all of them without exception can transcend their own political or ethnic or cultural interests to work for a united Iraq where the rights of all communities are respected and protected.
		I know there have been suggestions in public to that effect from different governments, they will have to raise that in the Security Council and it will be up to the 15 members to decide whether that formula is a desirable one and when to apply it.
