Spencer Ackerman: All Americans see on TV screens are Sunnis slaughtering Shiites and ethnic cleansing in the streets.

yeah that's the other side of this life:

Lally Weymouth jawbones with Adel Abdul Mehdi:

Unfortunately this is true. But this is only one part of the picture. Only 12 months ago, we had elections and 12 million people voted, Sunnis and Shiites.

Yes, and as a result, all Americans see on TV screens are Sunnis slaughtering Shiites and ethnic cleansing in the streets.

Also, if I'm Adel Abdul Mehdi, and a reporter mentions to me at the World Economic Forum that I'm Bush's favorite to replace the of-course-sovereign PM Maliki, I'd walk into the Swiss foreign ministry and seek asylum.
