Kitabat newspaper Friday in its editorial said President Bush's tour of the Middle East carries potential "ghosts of new wars."

The paper compared memories of the Iraq invasion to a big packed box full of devastating lies about "freedom" and "democracy," words it said are stuck in Iraqis' minds.

"As President Bush goes on visiting the Middle East, the Iraqi soul continues witnessing desperation and death," the paper said.

"The situation in Iraq is as contradictory as it was in the former era where honest writers or the ones who are linked to banned parties got killed; now, alcohol-sellers, barbers and Baathists get killed, too," the paper said.

It said that in the near future, political parties and religious movements will be a big part of the social component, leading to the creation of a new phenomenon.
