Amid unrelenting violence and a widening mood of despair, Iraqi politicians failed again to agree on a prime minister Sunday, leaving the country's government adrift for at least several more days.
The inability of Iraq's religious and ethnic factions to cut a power-sharing deal leaves the government incapable of responding forcefully to sectarian attacks that many fear are pushing the country toward civil war. Violent provocations continued Sunday, with the country raked by bombings, drive-by shootings and kidnappings.
This reminds me of the old saying; "You can lead a horse to water. But you can't make him stop blowing up the other horses when he gets there."
I just keep thinking that the Iraqi's are simply waiting us out. They are going to continue pretending to go along with our kooky "democracy" idea, and then when we get fed up and leave they will just wait until another warlord rises to power and runs the country like a dictatorship. You know, like the good old days!
