Civil wars are notoriously difficult to mediate without taking one side, and it doesn't help that in Iraq, battling Shi'ites and Sunnis seem to agree on only one thing: that the U.S. is ultimately to blame for the mess. Khalilzad is pleading with Shi'ites and Sunnis to return to talks on forming a new government. Still, it could be weeks, even months, before a workable new government is in place in Baghdad.
