Incoherent. On the one hand, this is pure “Sunnis blaming the Shi’ites” business, with the Arab League blaming the Shi’a for a constitution that supposedly subordinates the Sunnis. On the other hand, the Arab League is calling for a new “one man, one vote” constitution, which, if implemented, would put the Iraqi Sunnis in about the same electoral situation as Republicans running for local office in the District of Columbia.

I thought it was refreshing that they didn’t blame Americans. Or Israel. But yeah, you’re right. It’s a cover for the Sunnis.

Huh? The way I interpret this story is the Arabs (Muslim Sunnis) are NOT taking responsibility for any of the violence, but are blaming the Kurd-Shiite govt of Iraq for being unfair, thereby causing violence by those who feel “oppressed,” as they like to say. It’s the same-old, same-old. Far be it from the Sunni Arabs to take responsibility for their own actions–like blowing thousand of people up in Iraq’s version of Wal-Mart, the Suqs.

The Arab League, and Amr Moussa in particular, were big supporters of Saddam while he was murdering hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. They were distinctly uninterested in urging him to make things better for the Shi’a and Kurds then. Bloody-handed hypocrites.
