These leaks are aimed at entrenching the culture that promotes the making of decisions by foreign countries. It could also be an attempt by Iraqi political powers to get rid of their responsibilities and throw the burden of liability on foreign countries.
One cannot imagine a future for a country where political elites care about the opinion of foreign countries at the expense of their own people, and before evaluating if the Iraqi decision can possibly be applied within Iraq.
The question is the following: Why do Iraqi political forces wait for a foreign intervention to start making concessions? Why don’t they analyze the political map first, and then act upon it?
This question can only be answered if we take into consideration the vision of the powers toward the country's rule and the role of political parties, and the concept of peaceful rotation of power.
Amid the absence of consensual principles in terms of the state, its form, the distribution of wealth and the competence of each institution, it is normal to assume that government formation is in fact a restructuring of the state. This process requires a re-creation of conflicts about the government and the future.
