Sunnis expect U.S. leadership

The Sunnis expect the Americans to broker an agreement and then impose it on all parties. The Americans are telling the Sunnis to talk to their fellow Iraqis. The United States can advise and influence, they say, but it will not dictate.

"They want us to make a deal," said a U.S. Embassy official who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said the Sunnis in particular are acting as though a supreme leader such as Hussein or the king or the British viceroy are still in charge of Iraq. All the groups had to do was find the right key, do what the leader asked, and they would get their share.

"But that ended on June 28," the American official said, referring to the date in 2004 when the U.S.-led occupation authorities officially transferred sovereignty to the interim Iraqi government.

"But that ended on June 28"

I'm glad the US has taken this stance. Iraq belongs to the Iraqi people. To "broker a deal" would be to negate democracy.

That is why the decisions being made now are so contentious. In a nation infected with suspicion and unaccustomed to political give and take, sharing power is proving thornier than any of the parties predicted.<GOD BLESS YOU> My Friend/ FARQUAR/
