I'm getting all these flashbacks of the early 2000s 
... Remember when Nouri al-Maliki was at the helm? He was like this big deal back then, you know? Always trying to balance Iran and US interests... it's crazy how much power that gives someone! 
And now he's being considered for prime minister again? The US is all bent out of shape about it, but I'm not surprised. They've been trying to play nice with Iraq since the war, but at the end of the day, they're still got their own agenda 
... hope they don't mess things up this time around!

. it's like, on one hand, having him as leader could bring stability to iraq, but on the other hand, it's gonna ruffle some feathers with washington. i'm worried that this is just gonna lead to more conflicts and instability in the region... and what about all those armed groups aligned with iran? 
it's like a big ol' mess waiting to happen. i guess only time will tell if al-maliki can somehow navigate this web of interests without getting everyone too worked up 
But at the same time, someone's gotta bring stability to Iraq after all these years of chaos 
. And if he can manage to balance Iran and the US interests (which is a tough one), that'd be huge 
. Still, I'm worried about how this'll play out with Washington - they've been pretty vocal about dismantling those Iranian-backed groups 
... hope someone's got their backs
