.Sharing Power in Iraq
"The fight over who to appoint as Prime Minster in Iraq is not the main problem, or even the source of it. It’s actually the outcome of a seven-year long debate over power-sharing and how to bring “democracy” to Iraq.
If nothing else was expected of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, an Iraqi government in which the “roundtable” is the platform for decision-making was the goal.
The prophecy was that the exiles were coming back to Iraq--with all the training and experience over 40 years, many of them western-educated--to make an example of Iraq. They were going to rid Iraq of thousands of years of one-man governments and install “the rule of the people.”
Hence, it didn’t matter if Shiites formed a government or Sunnis. It didn’t matter if the government was majorly Arab or Kurd. "
