McClatchy has an extensive interview with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in which the embattled official strikes back at critics and claims that it is his efforts toward national reconciliation not the American military surge that is creating the (ever so) slightly improved conditions in the country. He did say that he would welcome being dismissed from his position but only if it was as a result of actions in the Parliament, not due to a military coup or American pressure. Maybe he gets the idea of democracy. It is a shame that the Americans don't.
