Maliki=====it's time you 'resigned."

It is becoming increasingly obvious that PM Maliki of Iraq is totally incapable of uniting his country. His main aim is simply to retain power. He is unable to work with the elected Kurdish President and even factions within his own ethnic group do not want him. Is it any wonder that the Islamic State fighters are able to cower his army and attack the people of Iraq at will? If he does not depart the political scene he is condemning his country to further disunity and violence and the very real prospect of a victory to the Islamic State. If that happens the people of Iraq will suffer needlessly. Whoever takes over from this 'power at all costs' man, then they will need a great deal of support from the international community if Iraq is going to be anything other than a 'description on a map.' www.authorneilcoleman.com
