Parliament voted Monday in a closed session to remove the speaker after a series of scandals involving the controversial lawmaker, legislators said. Mahmoud al-Mashhadani will be replaced by another Sunni Arab, they said.
Me? I am heartened to see leaders replaced by voting. Al-Mashhadani was not shot nor was he imprisoned. He was simply voted out of his office.
A little more of this in the region would make us all a lot safer, I should think.
