That may happen, I hope Maliki manages to show even a tiny bit of gumption in the next four months in which case it wouldn't have to happen, but if Maliki doesn't do anything like he is doing now the choice will be a strongman for Iraq for a while or chaos.
At this point, Iraq is neither. But how do we put a strong man in his place to lead the Iraqi? We shouldn't be interfering in their affairs by removing their ineffective Prime Minister from power.
