I agree. Afterall, it's politicians that started it all.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki Sunday characterized the situation in Iraq as a "political crisis" and said politicians are the only ones who can stop the further security deterioration and bloodshed of innocent people.
There is no hope to save Iraq and stop the bloodbath unless politicians "realize there are no winners or losers in this battle," he said, speaking to reporters at the Political Council for the National Security.
He said acts of terrorism are a reflection of political disagreements and Iraq's government is about to "tackle" those people who are against the will of Iraq, the Iraqi people and the national reconciliation among the people.
Iraq's leaders promised Sunday to track down those responsible for the war's deadliest attack by insurgents, the string of bombings that killed at least 200 people in Baghdad's mainly Shiite Sadr City on Thursday, according to The Associated Press.
The leaders urged the country's Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish politicians to stop fanning sectarian violence by arguing with one another, the AP reported.
A government spokesman read the statement on national television, surrounded by al-Maliki, a Shiite; Parliament speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, a Sunni; and President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, the AP said.
