Because it's a deadlocked political system which is set up for failure. Abadi himself as prime minister does not have the amount of power to change it, it's too decentralized and will never succeed in its current state. A military takeover could result in far better, except when the military leaders are too extreme and don't plan reconstructing civil rule of the state.
What kind of healthy system is giving billions of dollars (a too large amount of money in other words) to an obvious enemy element (Barzanistan) that does not hide his enmity and actively confirms it time and time again (the land grabbing is just one such example) while the areas of Iraq that consider themselves fully loyal to the state and do not work against it, are struggling while that money could have helped them. I suggest a visit to Samawa, Nasiriyah, Amarah etc. This is obvious injustice and makes no sense.
What is going on is basically Baghdad feeding an internal enemy or troublemaker. Call it what you want.
The corruption is also a scandal. What credentials do all those officials have that came out of nowhere post 2003? Or what about all those parliamentarians who almost never bother to even show up! Even when there is a vote on an important decision.
This system needs to change and especially the constitution. You can't do major changes if the fundament is not right.
An enlightened nationalist and secular military regime might be a good option for a few years until all this mess is cleaned up and power can be given away. How to ensure this is difficult and of course I doubt that this will happen.
Obviously the school curriculum must change also in order to emphasis nationalism. Religion is fine and most people are already religious but it should be kept at home in a mixed (religiously) nation like Iraq with its history of religious inter-fighting. Of course religious rituals can continue in public.
Ba'athism, (the actual ideology) if reformed, becoming more inclusive and led by competent people (not dictators), is actually a good ideology for Arab countries like Syria, Iraq, Yemen etc. for the reasons that I mentioned in post 8.
Anyway I am not a Ba'athi so I don't care what the ideology will be as long as what I discussed in post 8, can be dealt with accordingly for the sake of progress and stability in those Arab countries.
