...vast Bitzevsky Park. "For me, a life without murder is like a life without food for you," he declared. "I felt like the father of all these people, since it was I who opened the door for them to another world." At one point, furious that the police had cast their suspicion on another person, he promptly went out and killed two more derelicts. He could be especially cruel. The body of one woman was found with tiny stakes hammered into her skull and around her eyes...

Iraqis tell Time, however, that it doesn't really matter if al-Maliki stays or leaves. As long as the current cast of dubious and discredited characters continues to dominate Iraqi politics, reconciliation is not going to happen. None of the likely replacements have shown particular inclination, much less ability, to rise above petty politics. "Some days, I think our problems are so big that we need a parliament full of Nelson...
