They Did the Mashh

So the AP features a story with the information:

Meanwhile, frustration over poor turnout in Iraq's parliament flared, with the body's speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani having to be physically restrained from attacking a fellow Sunni lawmaker.

Those Iraqis are way too far from a true U.S.-style democracy. Doesn't al-Mashhadani know you don't attack someone yourself, you send your goons to do it?
