Some good ideas here, but it looks like the current government still holds on to quotas to appease the minorities. About a week ago:The Iraqi matter is so comlicated hence all the problem we face. So I want to comment about the issue in two seperate lines IRAQ. and IRAN.
For Iraq the problem start from the day one when they wrote the constitution and accept to divide the the authoreties between three parts thad none of them trust the other.
The SHIITE.
wanted a democracy regime so they can participate in controlling their country as a right they have since they are the majority. Now their mistake is that accept the form of
Government sectarian quotas. They should never accept that since the country just got out of decades of dectatorship that was supported by the loosers of war and power.
SUNNI. on the other hand Sunnis never supported a democracy regime in Iraq since they will loose ruling the country a prevelige they had for centuries Plus in general the Sunni views about Shiite never been fair let alone good and accepting the Shiite as a rival all that we can see today chrystal clear.
Kurds. are not interested in been Iraqi neither united Iraq nor Iraq under a strong central government so they change their support between the Shiite and Sunni whenever its in their favour.
So what is the solution for this mess? In my opinion its should be done this way.
FIRST. form a government of majority and send home all other ministers home.
SECOND. clean the army from the Baathist also clean the security branches from them too.
THIRD. make a strong line that separate the cities under IS this way you defend what you have also you can start train your forces and prepaire for the libration of the rest of country.
IRAN. Iran's policy in Iraq come from.
First. fear they fear the move of the unrest in Iraq to their home so they try to help to contain that abroad.
Secon. Religiously they think they should defend the religious sites.
Third. Iran want to keep what they call the resistive front and keep some allies in the region absolutely the fall of Iraq in the hand of Sunnis will break or damage that front.
I think Iran should help in a way were make Iraqis the fighting with supporting them with better training and directing of some fighting plan.
For those who say that shia melitia should be under the army comand I would say you were wrong since the army is corrupted to the bones and must of it's generals are incompetants actually those generals even didn't feed the volunteers they should be executed publicly I mean those generals.
That's how I see it.
Iraq need to start acting now they need to put aside all the sunnis kurds rights for an interim period they need to builed a strong army in cooperation with the US, Russia and China.
they need to put the country pride the country safety the country prosperity first while keep the sectarian quote for future I say that because baath and terrorists enetrated this government deeply I'm sure many PM's and officers are working hand to hand with the terrorists.
Eonough with playing they need to start acting seriously.
