Maliki Government May Fall, Democracy In Action
Inside an article describing Sunday’s terrible violence in Iraq was this interesting item:
Two officials close to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said his followers would quit their six Cabinet posts Monday — a move that could leave Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s already weak administration without enough support to stay in power.
The mechanics would be as follows:
Al-Sadr’s six followers on the 37-seat Cabinet would officially withdraw from the government Monday, said Saleh al-Aujaili and Hassan al-Rubaie, members of the Sadrist bloc in parliament. They said al-Sadr’s 30 legislators would stay in parliament.
Again, this is Parliamentary democracy in action. If the Government can not stand, it must fall. Maybe a stronger leader can be found.
