Robert Dreyfuss | A Paper Lid on Iraq's Volcano

"The civil war in Iraq won't end with the naming of a hard-line Shiite fundamentalist as Iraq's next prime minister. President George W. Bush, desperate to find some progress in the violent chaos of Iraq, calls the designation of Jawad al-Maliki 'awesome.' Maliki a 'hateful sectarian?' You be the judge. He is, first of all, the No. 2 official in the terrorist Al Dawa party, the Shiite fundamentalist sect-party led by Jaafari. Far from being a figure who can unite Iraq's warring parties, Maliki is a militant Shiite partisan," writes Dreyfuss.
