Snippet:
Iraqi politics are in crisis. Months after an election in Iraq, there is still no new prime minister or president. The reason for this is that political parties cannot agree on who to appoint. In addition, US opposition to Nouri al-Maliki, a frontrunner for prime minister, has sparked widespread hand-wringing in Baghdad.
