There are many secularist and nationalist Shias who are opposed to the exclusion of the Sunnis from government and reject al-Malikis sectarianism, authoritarianism and heavy-handed style of government. The Sunnis have common ground with these Shias, who want to build a shared future with their Sunni counterparts. Unfortunately, the Sunnis have failed to reach out to these moderate Shias and make statements about their readiness to work jointly to achieve national goals. (...) The ultimate solution to Iraq’s problems is a political one, and the Sunnis cannot pursue their goals through violence and territorial gains. The Sunnis refused the idea of power-sharing among Iraqs ethnicities following Saddams downfall, claiming that the new political system would herald the break-up of the country.
