Iraq politics, continued

Bill Ardolino at The Long War Journal has part four of his five part series up on Iraqi politics. Inside Iraqi politics – Part 4. A look at legislative progress: Reconciliation via wealth distribution
  • Some of the most important measures of progress are the Iraqi government’s efforts to propose and pass legislation allocating wealth.
