Rice lobbies Arabs for backing in Iraq
munaeem | 17 January, 2007 14:08
Arab allies gave lukewarm support to Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice's appeal. She made an appeal to her US allies in the region to support the Iraqi government.
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal briefed her about the relationship between Shiites and Sunni in Iraq. They lived together peacefully for many centuries there. But their relationship has strained due to sectarians violence.
"I cannot for the life of me conceive that a country like that would commit suicide," said al-Faisal, adding that he prefers not to speculate about he called the "dire consequences" of a Sunni-Shia civil war.
Arab diplomats doubt that surge can help to break the cycle of violence. Many in the Arab world profoundly distrust al-Maliki's government, believing it is serving Iran's interests at the expense of Sunnis
