Things are getting better. The Iraqis came to the brink of civil war as a result of the attack on the shrine ... The Iraqi leadership came together and rose to the occasion and that's a good thing.

I think the country came to the brink of civil war. (They) decided to come together and now the risk of civil war from this attack on the golden mosque is over.

Everything that needs to be done must be done to avoid a civil war, and I think they are keenly aware of the danger.

If Iraqis among themselves, in the assembly and those from outside, decide to make some adjustments compared to the draft that was presented three four days ago, it's entirely up to them.

This is a critical moment for Iraq. We call on all Iraqis to unite against terror and violence. Coming together in unity to condemn this barbaric act, and working for Iraq's salvation will be the right response. This desperate and despicable act shows that terrorists stop at nothing and care for nothing.

What we've seen in the past two days, the attack has had a major impact here, getting everyone's attention that Iraq is in danger.
