Man of the hour

Should the US need a replacement for Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki I think I've found just the man. He's experienced; he's a man of colour (though quite probably not a Muslim and that could present a problem); he thinks democracy is overrated.

Meet Jona Senilagakali the new "prime minister" of Fiji. He has been installed after the coup by the Fijian military and he spoke to the Australian press yesterday. Key quote: "That is the problem with you people -- democracy".
