  Al-Maliki, whose grandfather was a prominent Shiite sheik, poet and former cabinet minister, would have grown up very familiar with the fate of Jaber, the most prominent Shiite politician of the day, according to Iraq historian Phebe Marr.
  ...
  "Maliki knows the history of Jaber very well," Marr says."I can't imagine he wants to be remembered as someone like that."
  
  Perhaps the darkest episode came in 1955, when a new agreement with the British proved so unpopular that Nuri al-Said, who was serving his 14th term as prime minister, was shot in a 1958 coup.That coup laid the foundations for four decades of anti-Western sentiment in Iraq, according to Marr.
  
  Al-Maliki's spokesman, Ali al-Dabbagh, dismisses any comparisons with history.Unlike in the past, he says, this agreement will go to parliament for approval by all Iraqi parties. (c) Copyright 2008 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co.Inc.
