Like a bad penny

Funny, I seem to have heard of this guy before:

Allawi said Sunday that he would not participate in a sectarian government and will return to Baghdad soon to "reverse the course in Iraq."

Ah, yes, that would be Mr. Shot-to-the-Back-Of-The-Head Alawi, Mr. "Mohammed Atta Trained In Baghdad"Allawi, Mr. "Saddam-Lite" Allawi.

Well, he couldn't get elected by his own people, so are evidently going to re-install him as that new thug Thomas Freidman hoped for so desperately.

Things are just so much simpler when you just abandon that messy difficult complicated "democracy" and get right to the good stuff, eh?
