I agree that they are many trying, but until the general population backs those who are stepping out to lead, they will not succeed. Compare the Kurdish response to the others. They have taken control of their region, kicked out those who don't belong there and maintained a certain level of vigilance. That is not happing just because of leadership but because of the support of the leadership.
Most of the problems are foreign influenced. The Iranian ties are not in the interest of a rebuilt Iraq and must be broken. Until the Iraqi population is willing to put their national identity above their political identity they will continue to undermine themselves.
The same can be said of Americans. We need to put our national identity ahead of our party or we will defeat ourselves as well.
