saw American writer that Baghdad could be a key closes the worst the region's conflicts if it's only a busted system in her home.
said Marc Lynch, in an article verbose him in Foreign Policy magazine, that is scheduled to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's visit to the White House the first of November. This is an appropriate time for his country to break the crowded regional agenda.
need and Washington, according to Lynch, to have to do in this visit more than oral pleasantries about security, pluralism and the permanent responsibility and partnership. It needs to convince the leaders of Iraq that the play finally their role in mediating political divides atrocities in the region, a role can be to Baghdad just to play.
believes Lynch, an associate professor of political science and international affairs at George Washington University, said that the fate of Iraq is important not only because of the death of Thousands of Americans and what is said about half a million Iraqis killed over a decade of war. But because Iraq is in the heart of the fragile balance of forces in the Gulf, and shares long borders with Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. And renewed insurgency wicked which represents one of the most effects of the war the Syrian sabotage.
As a country ruled by Shiites and an Arab state semi-democratic, intersect in Iraq for three of the strongest lines split the Middle East today: Sunnis against Shiites, monarchies against what can be democracies, and the Council of Cooperation Gulf against Iran.
and analyst George that without the existence of a new sense of urgency, the meeting, the White House is likely that revolves around something a little more than trifles renewal of the strategic framework agreement discarded a long time ago, which is relations cultural, economic and political.
Obviously, that al-Maliki has some things in mind it wishes to receive from Washington, such as the renewal of the exchange of intelligence information and weapons delivery systems.,
but high and empty discussions, in the strategic framework agreement can not be the only thing that gets Washington Maliki's visit in November. It should be a way for the owners and the President Barack Obama to hold frank talks on local Iraqi political crisis and its potential role in the regional system variable. It was Iraq's ambassador to the United States, Luqman Philly, told an audience of Washington recently that his first to the United States is that Baghdad could be an ally can be relied upon in a turbulent region.
believes Lynch that the presence of such a ally required some very particular that this ally influenced by a profound outcome of the negotiations the U.S. and Iranian path of civil war in Syria.
but to lead Iraq, a role like this, he has to reverse the Maliki government to exclude the Sunni minority and focused his authority.
was excused Maliki in its consideration of reading other of the need for national reconciliation and a common goal blogger the strategic framework agreement, what you deserve (which is something perhaps some hope to see him out of the U.S. Congress as well). U.S. officials have urged strongly that this is the responsibility of the Iraqi Prime Minister, as well as all other Iraqi politician remained seated quietly for a moment of time, for more than half a decade. Political Failure in Iraq is not new and has almost nothing to do with the withdrawal of American troops. Maliki ignore such advice when there were 140 thousand soldiers in Iraq; ignored when those forces began to withdraw; and ignored after they left all of them. And he offers such a compromise, but when he feels they are necessary pieces for his survival is personally.
attributed part of this to the gains of the temporary security strategy "momentum" of American and shifts the Sunni insurgency, did not feel never in fact he made concessions.
, but in spite of this, so perhaps things different now. Vhsad policy of Maliki playoffs was many months of the Sunni continuous protests, and the renewal of the insurgency, and the growing perception that the other country to rip it apart.
significant increase in violent killings paid to the fear of the disintegration of Iraq and caught fire again. The dire consequences of growing violence during the current year and the political crisis could finally be enough to push al-Maliki to such concessions hesitant in arrears.
instinct in political survival - not American influence - has finally paid to comply. With elections crucial in the coming year and connotations tired that appear around the features of the new election law, and Washington should do what it can during the visit to push al-Maliki in this direction - and air all the incentives that can be activated under the strategic framework agreement (such as military assistance and intelligence that wants Maliki) in If doing so.
It is likely that Washington can finally get him to conduct political reforms are necessary as part of this security assistance package.
the United States a great interest in seeing Iraq and is يهشم circle of sectarian polarization and consolidation of tyranny and insurgency. The owners have never never acted as if he shared those interests, but Obama's meeting with him next would be the perfect opportunity to push towards change course.
