...truly great Presidents - and world leaders - we have ever known. Just as he was in the face of his opponents when he was mayor of New York City, as President he will confront all the U.S.'s enemies - domestic and foreign - and he will ride roughshod over them, doing whatever it takes to secure America.

Yet, beyond all expectations, the parliament, however ineffectual, has actually maintained a coalition government in place. And while the government's structure makes it impossible for one person or party to ride roughshod over everyone else, that means decisions are made by a painfully slow process of consensus - which may give them a better chance of sticking. For his part, Maliki has tried to project strength: rushing Saddam Hussein to execution and directing mildly harsh words in the general direction of Moqtada...
