It’s not so much about winning as it is about learning...
...Iraqi military on al-Sadr's supporters in Basra in 2008. Al-Sadr has warned that he would veto a second term for al-Maliki, and so the Prime Minister's delegation in Qum sought to persuade al-Sadr to drop the veto. (An al-Maliki spokesman said the mission was a success, while an al-Sadr spokesman denied that a deal had been made.) (Watch TIME's video about Iraq's broken legal system...
