"BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq’s Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari angrily dismissed on Tuesday U.S. warnings to shun sectarianism in the country’s new government, saying Iraqis would not accept interference in their affairs.
Speaking after talks with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, who echoed the U.S. call for a government of national unity in Iraq, the normally calm and diplomatic Jaafari said Iraq knew its own best interests.
“When someone asks us whether we want a sectarian government the answer is ’no we do not want a sectarian government’ — not because the U.S. ambassador says so or issues a warning,” he told a news conference."
So much for stability in Iraq. Oh, wait. Give it a few minutes, it won't be about stability or democracy anymore, it will be about...umm...something else.

Did you know that in every country Bush has ever traveled to, there have always been hoards of protesters waiting for him? No other President in history can claim this dismal accolade.
