BAGHDAD, Iraq – Nearly three months after millions of Iraqis defied insurgents and risked their lives to elect a parliament, the country is still struggling to form a new government – in large part because of infighting among Shiite and Kurdish factions.
Animosity and distrust left over from Saddam Hussein’s brutal regime also are contributing to the delay in forming a Cabinet – a delay that now is close to imperiling the country’s democratic progress: If the Cabinet isn’t appointed by early next month, interim Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari could be forced to step down. http://nsnlb.us.publicus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050424/NEWS03/104240083/-1/news
