Dear Mohammed,
I want to thank you for your frank review of this political act off Mr. Maliki.

He is a bold politician who has many to satisfy and few to support him.

The reconciliation of all Iraqi’s seems to be the key to the success of his regime.

I am concerned that in his focus on Najaf (and I believe that to be Sistani whose philosophy is apolitical — but his acolytes’ political ambitions, primarily) can topple the impartiality that reconciliation’s success will require.
