“I don’t call for any interference in Iraq. And I reject it even it’s the United States,” said Usama al-Nujayfi, the speaker of Iraq’s Council of Representatives, in an event hosted by the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings. “But friends,” he said, “should provide advice and support.” Mr. al-Nujayfi was at Brookings for a discussion to help Americans understand the travails of Iraq and the perspective of Iraq’s Sunni community in particular. He discussed the current crisis of Iraq and the role that the United States might play in helping to avoid a further descent into all-out civil war.
