I think people are rapidly losing confidence in the political class, and I don't blame them.

I think the Shiites want a theocracy.

An apology for the actions of some troops who, of course, are not representative of the majority of the armed forces here, I think that would have been useful and it would have helped to some extent.

If the security forces continue to be dominated as they are now by political groups or sects, then the people won't trust in them - and the result will be civil war or fragmentation of the country.

The political parties and groups that did not take part in the election should be invited to participate in the writing of the permanent constitution.

Everybody seems to be imprisoned in their own sectarian or political affiliations. They don't seem to be able to rise above these things.
