Regional Influences Support the Removal of Al-Maliki

The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khameini (not to be confused with Ayatollah Ali Quackmeini of Battastan) has made a statement denouncing any support from Iran to Al-Maliki. In fact, Khameini noted that he never supported Nouri Al-Maliki as Prime Minister. Khameini only accepted Al-Maliki because he [Khameini] was determined to see Chi3a leadership in the region.

Of course, Iraq's prime minister is not the only representative of Chi3a leadership in the region. The Syrian head of state, Bachar Al-Assad, is also Chi3a and a prodigy as well as common beneficiary of Iranian support and funds. Of course it should be noted that while Iran and Syria are led by Chi3a they do not speak for the Chi3a population. The bad name they give is a name unto themselves as power hungry despots --and should not be considered as a reflection upon the Chi3a peoples of the world.

Al-Maliki was not supported by Iran because he would benefit the Iraqi people, but that he would be an advocate for the advancement of Chi3a Iraqis over Sunni and Kurdish Iraqis. And Al-Maliki has indeed seen to an oppression of the Sunni population that not too long ago was the oppressor.

In a related address, Khameini stated that should any woman be a virgin before she is executed, she should be raped in order to ensure that she not be a virgin at death.

But in an unfortunate turn of events, the Al-Maliki leadership assumed the role of collecting paychecks from the west and neglecting their country. Groups like Da3ech have come about out of the need to self-govern and protect themselves.

Consequently, it is not democracy that was a fundamental part of the American founding fathers' dream. It was a nation built on man's natural right to self-governance and the pursuit of happiness. A democracy can be oppressive, but certainly not as common or as vast as the oppression that dictators impose on their people. The neglectful and selfish government of Al-Maliki proves only that it was a puppet regime to meet certain quotas -- but not representative of the Iraqi people or their needs.

Iran is not the only country to pull support on Al-Maliki, Saudi Arabia --a regional opponent of Iran -- has come to the same conclusion. King Abdullah, after assuming the throne in 2006, met with Al-Maliki in Riyadh.

Their relationship was off to a good start when Al-Maliki proposed several reforms and assurances to the king. However, Al-Maliki ---according to King Abdullah -- failed to perform any of the assurances. In fact, Sunni interests became decimated and the Iraqi people were brought great suffering unto them.
From this, King Abdullah dropped his trust in Al-Maliki.

King Abdullah waves 'goodbye' to Al-Maliki

US Presidents George Bush and Barrack Obama tried to arrange meetings between King Abdullah and Prime Minister Al-Maliki but the king was not interested. He stated firmly that he did not trust Al-Maliki and 'how was he expected to work with a man he did not trust'.

Al-Maliki contests his replacement and declares it to be unconstitutional.
