This is long, but gives insight on the history of Iraq's leader. For those who like this sort of information, enjoy!

And for the grammer police out there---I realize (just now) that I did not spell his name correctly. Oh well...

Still an American-Hating, murderous, dictator, tool-of-Iran, Kurd-despiser, power grabbing,

threat-wielding, little sniveling rat boy with too many personal vendettas and axes to grind.

 

Innapropriate for an emerging nation's success.

 

The quicker he meets his end, the better.

Great take on Maliki..........certainly a "been-there-done-that" kind of guy. He is apparently highly experienced in a lot of "survival-of-self" and "life-or-death" venues most of us North American regular folk will never experience.......or possibly understand.  Obviously he is highly experienced at surviving which may account for a lot of the related type of news articles we read on this site about the goings on in Iraq.

Great Post Kliklok and Good Observation Tedro. Thank You Both.

 

"Maliki should be judged based upon the realities of Iraq, not America’s or Iran’s interests. This does not mean blindly and fatalistically to accept his behavior or inclination toward authoritarianism. Excesses by Maliki that violate principles of human rights and democracy should be confronted pragmatically. The prime minister should not be allowed simply to indulge his worst impulses, yet still receive a blank check from the United States for military weapons.

 

There is a limit to what any nation can do to affect another. It is arrogant to think the West can shape Iraq’s destiny or Maliki’s behavior, but neither does the United States have to enable Iraq’s slow downward spiral. At this point, the United States has likely ceded most of its influence in Iraq through inertia and lack of vision, but the fading relationship still provides an opening to encourage the country’s leaders to turn away from their darker impulses and pursue genuine institution building. The alternative risks the demise of the Iraqi state and years of bloody civil war".

Thanks for the article Klik. Maggie's insight is interesting, too. Personally, I don't trust the boys in the sand pit. We should cut off all foreign aide to the ME. Could Maliki become the new Saddam? Anything is possible with Muslim extremist.

"Gag me with a spoon" That's funny, I haven't heard that since Jr High.
