Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki: According to some of his fellow countrymen, he's no democrat.
"The political changes will continue even if they result in the deaths of half of Iraq's people."

After Iraq's "transformative" experiment in democracy - which arrived by way of the coalition's immoral war of aggression led by its evil sponsor, the United States - can that country still be referred to as the free world's "defender of liberty?"
While history has witnessed similar barbaric wars, Bush's war of democracy arrived on the back of tanks on the 9th of April, 2003, with a company of exiled traitors rushing close behind and championing the war of "liberation" that has resulted in the slaughter of Iraq, Iraqis and their civilization.
Before this, there had been lone dictators at the head of governments across the entire Arab region (usually totalitarian regimes that came to power through military coups or bloody revolutions), who were well aware of the particular political customs of the nation - which were needed for shaping the minds of his Arabic citizens.
However today, we are witnessing a new kind of dictatorship, that one could call "Bush's democratic dictatorship." This democracy is comprised of groups of vengeful, malicious, murderous and corrupt sectarians who returned after having been exiled to neighboring countries - specifically Iran and Syria. And the memories remain. The Iraqis are aware of Prime Minister Al-Maliki's corruption and the nest of forgery at his former stronghold near the Saiyyda Zeinab Mosque in Damascus, which is a distinct hallmark of the pattern of government in the new Iraq.
(Editor's Note: Nouri al-Maliki is a member of the Dawa Party, the Shiite political group that for years led an armed underground resistance to the secular-Baathist leadership of Saddam. When Saddam hunted down his opponents, Mr. Maliki followed other Dawa leaders into exile - fleeing the country in 1980 and eventually finding refuge in Syria).
For this reason we're unlikely to see much evidence of democracy from a government that has had 17 ministers resign, four major political blocks withdraw their support; whose Parliament had to be suspended; which is reviled by 90 percent of the Iraqi population; which is subject to frequent criticism from American authorities; and which is at the mercy of the ruling junta in the Green Zone (recall that the only person to express satisfaction with Al-Maliki's performance is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which only serves to demonstrate the sectarian nature of the two governments).
