I guess that this is normal in a democracy just starting out. However, we are not asking the Iraqis for a lifetime committment to this government. We're asking for a transitional one, people! Does it need that much arm wrangling?
I hope that the Iraqis can get one formed by next week. The Iraqis need a government with the type of legitimacy that the assembly can offer, and they need it soon.
When will an Iraqi Government Form?
Tomorrow.

Read a history book about the founding of the United States. Count the time from the Declaration of Independence, to the election of the first President of the United States.

I'm sure that if all the media today was present then, they would have cast Shay's Rebellion as a sign that the young nation was a complete failure, bound for complete chaos, and that the British should step in and restore order.

That part takes a while, and I'm sure that it make take months, if not years in Iraq. But this is just a transitional government, not a pernament one.

The problem is that Kurds hate the Arabs and what to run their own show like durring the 90s when they had a defacto independent state while the US kept Saddams armies from crushing them.. The Arabs can't let the Kurds have too much autonomy becasue they have a lot of oil in northern Kurdish area. The Shi'ites and the Kurds are supposed to be close to a deal, but unfortunately it looks like close is as going to get for a long time.

Well for God's sake, this is just a government to get them through the next year! They can haggle over who gets what later, but they should at least form a government first.
