Iraq’s foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, said he wanted to
rehabilitate Iraq’s image after the fall of Saddam Hussein. But
now sectarian violence in Iraq is arguably worse than ever and is
overlapping with sectarianism in neighbouring Syria. The Shia-led
government in Baghdad is accused of discriminating against the
Sunni minority and of being too close to Iran. How can Hoshyar
Zebari, himself an Iraqi Kurd, hope to have any coherent foreign
policy, when his own country is in danger of slipping into civil
war?
