Editorial: Heading Toward a Joint Goal

Talks for forming the new government are underway between the winning political slates. Some reports mentioned starting dialogue even before the election results were announced, which indicated that all blocs were enthusiastically patriotic in setting the elected government's vast agenda. Such an agenda is extremely important for the next government. It must try to solve many problems, such as security, (lacking) services and political and social weaknesses. The new government should deal with eliminating corruption and establishing the proper environment for (Iraqis) to take over (security) from the multilateral forces. These big problems are not just the government's business: All Iraqis should line up together to confront and eliminate them. It is great that all of the political blocs are putting aside their differences and concentrating on dialogue to form the new government. Optimistic signs began appearing on the horizon when some political powers began fighting the terrorists in an effort to besiege and eliminate terror once and for all. The people have helped their representatives sit in the parliamentary dome. It is now their turn to prove that they are worth being there.
