Ali Allawi

Why would someone who served American occupation not be sympathetic to someone who served British occupation?  "Ali Allawi, who from 2003 to 2006 served successively as Iraq's minister of trade, defense and finance, recounts Faisal's 12-year reign in glowing terms, and justifiably so. While Britain remained the de facto power, the young king enjoyed considerable autonomy in pursuing his—and Britain's—two core objectives: modernizing Iraq's economy and forging a national identity."
