Reassessing Maliki
Reihan is right that recent events put the Iraqi prime minister in a much better light:
Though these gains may be temporary, there has also been a more lasting
change: The Sadrists have been marginalized. Even the Grand Ayatollah
Ali al-Sistani, who has been reluctant to make political interventions
in recent years, pointedly condemned Sadr for refusing to disarm.
Leading Sunni faction have also returned to the fold. The Kurds, who
have their own problems with Sadr, are also on board. Maliki,
suprisingly enough, increasingly looks like the leader of all Iraqis.
