...result of the fiasco at the gallows is that across the Sunni world, Saddam, once anathema even to most Sunnis, is rapidly being transformed into a martyr who courageously stood up to a vengeful Shiite majority. Iraq’s Shiite-dominated government, and particularly Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who fast-tracked and oversaw Saddam’s execution, is squarely to blame. Instead of unity, Saddam’s execution has come to symbolize a deep fragmentation. It is becoming increasingly clear that Iraq’s internecine violence runs so deep in the cultural and ethnic fabric...

...follow a U.S. script on the fundamental questions of national unity - reconciling with the Sunnis, making concessions to the insurgents to draw former Baathists back into the fold, and most importantly, reining in the Shi'ite death squads. Nor is this problem a unique failing of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki - who, in an interview in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday made clear that he no longer wants the job. The U.S. had no greater joy with his predecessor, Ibrahim al-Jaafari...

What exactly can President Bush expect as a result of his White House meeting Monday with Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim, the Iraqi Shi'ite leader?

There's a reason why Iraqis aren't holding their breath over the Amman summit: Viewed from Baghdad, both George Bush and Nuri al-Maliki are lame ducks. As he winds down his second term, the American president is burdened with a hostile Senate and Congress - not to mention mounting public dissatisfaction with his performance. The Iraqi Prime Minister is less than six months into his first term, and already he faces the same problems...

...postponement of the first session of a high-stakes summit between President Bush and Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki Wednesday night in Jordan may indeed have been - as officials on both sides took pains to stress - simply a matter of logistics. And the two men appeared relaxed after their meeting, stressing common themes such as a rejection of the idea of partitioning Iraq, and stressing the need for Iraqi forces to take on more of the security burden. Still, reports ahead of the summit on the outlook that each man would bring to the table suggests a substantial...
