Iraq's New Government May Take Weeks to Be Formed

Could someone please explain to me how this is news? Of course it's going to take time to form a whole new government! Awww, you mean they aren't done already? Apparently, in their zeal over finding another negative story to report on Iraq, they've lost all historical perspective. It took the United States twelve years to create a new government, from the Declaration of Independence to the ratification of the United States Constitution. And we had the advantage of years of social, political, and cultural development, steeped in a tradition of parliamentary government and individual rights. It's going to take some time and patience for Iraq to start a whole new government, especially a democratic government.
