For many political observers, hopes of a national-unity government have been dashed by the violence of the past two weeks, sparked by the destruction of a major Shi'ite shrine in Samarra. But Khalilzad told TIME he remains optimistic: "I believe that if we get - when we get - the national-unity government, when we have ministries that are run by competent ministers, and as we get into the next phase of our Sunni outreach...
