???The Cemetery or Republic of Iraq

The coalition between the Iraqi Communist party (to name the unnamable) and the sectarian religious parties is a fatal error for which the party as well as our Iraqis are paying a dear price. The vast majority of them are living the most miserable life whatsoever, as millions live under the poverty line, with an epidemic of unemployment, and shameful shortage of water and electricity supply, let alone corruption, cronyism, totally inadequate health system, polluted environment, and dreadful discrimination against women and people on grounds of sexual and gender orientation.
International reports tell us that Iraq is the worst country worldwide in terms of corruption. Other international reports show now that Baghdad is the worst city, again worldwide, in terms of the quality of living and infrastructure-see http://www.ahewar.org/eng/show.art.asp?aid=730. The question is: How many failures does this government need, in order to declare itself bankrupt? And who is responsible for all of this, God or Godot? And why Almaliki and his clan-government keep an ear-deafening silence on some of these reports. We know that denial is a form of psychosis, and in this case it is a collective, immeasurably self-destructive one.
The rhetoric of those advocating the necessity of coalition is falling apart on the grounds of the hard reality people experiencing every day. However, it seems that political rhetoric is holier than people. And those who are parroting empty phrases to message the egos of their Big Brothers (or Comrades if one wishes to be more precise) can certainly better use their breath to prove me wrong. But only evidence counts, rather than boring rambling about an alleged necessity of such a coalition on the ground of potentially catastrophic scenarios (as if the current catastrophes are neither visible nor palpable) or totally off the wall references to the legitimacy of such a coalition based on incomparable experiences in Europe or wherever.
And the ready- made, potential rejoinder of “If you are not with me, you are against me’ would prove again that G.W. Bush has no copyright on this motto.
This coalition is not working in terms of whatever operationally realistic criteria one wishes to choose. Accountability and socio-political responsibility are not the words the vocabulary of the coalition advocates include (they claim otherwise day and night, but, be sure, what they pay in their claims is only lip service). Hence, there is chaos and corruption, and death prevails at the expense of life. The politics of coalition belongs to the realm of Death; black- clad men banning signing and music, and segregating men from women, turning Iraq into a cemetery, and the designation The Cemetery of Iraq seems to fit the bill much more than The Republic of Iraq, as Republic means, as I can tell, the people’s government, but, for this government, people of Iraq are only (ab)used to bring the government into power through zombie-walking like ceremonies they call ‘elections!!!’, and thereafter they get dumped as if they were rubbish, and the abuse goes on and on.
