Bashir Adel Gli: I have no fear. There won’t be a war.
NIQASH: And what makes you so sure of that?
Bashir Adel Gli: Because al-Maliki has a lot of opponents in Baghdad – such as the Islamic Virtue Party [the Fadhila party], the Islamic Supreme Council, the Sadrists [Editor’s note: the latter three are all Shiite-Muslim dominated] and the Iraqiya party. All of his opponents simply won’t let this happen. And the Kurdish won’t allow the Kurdish military [the peshmerga] to attack the Iraqi army either.
NIQASH: So what do you think will happen in Iraqi politics in 2013?
Bashir Adel Gli: I can't really predict that. But I do think it will be the end of al-Maliki. I think if al-Maliki tries to run for the third term, he will find that those opposed to him will multiply.
Intelligent opinion or very clever. But make a reality check first. Who is the master and who is the slave in Iraq? The Cabinet or the Parliament?
What about law enforcement? What does matters if Parliament legislates laws and the Cabinet do not support, nor implement them?
Does democracy a chance in Iraq with Maliki?
No pain, no gain.
