Not only the Iraqis are impatiently waiting the new parliament to convene again and start its job, but we have now another group of people who are waiting for that moment; they are the Americans who recently got their compensation payments for what they consider an abuse by Saddam Hussein's regime.
On Thursday, the Iraqi Cabinet unanimously approved a $400 million settlement for those Americans who claim to have been tortured or traumatized under Saddam's regime dating back to the 1990 Iraqi invasion to Kuwait, Sameer N. Yacoub of the Associated Press in Baghdad reported.
But the settlement still needs to be approved by the parliament which has only met once since the March 7 national elections as post-Saddam politicians are still at loggerheads over who should form the government and becomes its Prime Minister as the vote produced no clear winner. For that, the approval could take more months, giving the political wrangling and the likely fierce opposition by Sadrist and Sunni lawmakers for the plan.
And given the bad economic situation in the U.S. and how important is the cash now there, we may see these Americans involved in the talks of forming the new government or may be they would make proposals and initiatives to the politicians to end the political deadlock to let the parliament start its work or may be would go in demos and shout: "Approve my payment quickly."
Who knows.

You forgot to mention that they claim suffering from "emotional distress'! What a nerve! Here's my take on this topic: http://www.bassamsebti.com/2010/09/give-iraq-break.html
Hehehehe, "emotional distress" from an ordeal lasted only for few days!What about the Iraqis who have been experiencing all kinds of distress since 1990s mainly because of the Americans? don't answer, their answer would be: "What? this is the tax of the democracy which we brought to them to modernize their society."
Yes, really. I agree with told all above.
