    CRISIS district councils election law raises again the idea of dividing Iraq
    PARLIAMENTARIANS l (light): federalism on the basis of geographical was acceptable but the sectarian division totally unacceptable

    Despite the political crisis afflicting the adoption of the law of provincial council elections, but the bids on the division of Iraq into three mini states returned to a point of fear among large segments of the Iraqis, while squandered a number of politicians and the enemy of this idea was rejected. The MP Mahmoud Othman, a member of the Kurdistan Alliance calls for dividing Iraq into three states is unacceptable because it is mainly the foundation of the Iraqi people may not be for others to intervene either to unify or retail According to the Constitution we have the right to be federal regions in Iraq, pointing out that work within the framework of geographical Does not give the right to say when the representative of the Kurdistan region there does not mean that a Kurd is a geographical area comprising Kurds, Arabs and others also may not be formed on the basis of the territory on the basis of a Shiite or Sunni.

    The Osman in his speech to newspaper (Noor) U.S. role in Iraq now is very small compared with evolution witnessed by the Iraqi government so there are armed forces control the country and this shows the desire of Iraq to be strong, but at the same time it is undeniable that Americans have a special international In Iraq.

    And confirms that the Iraqis under the current phase do not want a commitment with the United States, but there will open on the Arabs and Europe, where we want to have relations with everyone and if our relations are concentrated in a certain country and for the benefit of a certain well-being of this opinion is not Iraq and I would imagine that other nations are invited to help Iraq The opening of embassies and diplomatic representation has increased is the correct policy.

    And shares the U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Anna Skerohima in opinion says in an interview with the newspaper (light): Today we note there is tremendous progress in the Iraqi situation, especially at the level of enacting laws so we believe that Iraq is moving from stage to stage the best and the Iraqi government started to define their internal and external The idea of dividing Iraq into three states Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish are originally rejected the idea that the Government of the United States still supports the efforts of the Iraqi government at all levels of political, economic and security.

    The strike Skerohima example of the saying: we see Iraqi security forces began to dominate the files of security through the transfer of security functions to it by U.S. forces as well as a plan to hand over the presidential palace of the Iraqi government when the transfer of all equipment the U.S. Embassy to its new headquarters, pointing out that the government had Achieved a great and important achievements, particularly in the security file and what happened in Basra and Maysan was clear evidence of this will contribute to the withdrawal of American forces is a success and I do not say that where there is full yet significant challenges facing Iraqis.

    She says that Iraq is now in the process of development and openness to the Arab world and the west, where we see mutual visits and by the Iraqi government with many of the States that they update the progress and improvement of diplomatic relations as different from previous relationships mean that Iraq's current application of democracy and it is hoped to expand Iraq's relations with states Other.

    With stand MP Harith Obaidi, a member Accord Front in contrast to previous opinion blaming American forces responsible for what happens in the Iraqi arena, calling the United States Government to reconsider any draft raises particular reason to the idea of dividing Iraq as it violates Iraqi sovereignty and therefore such a proposal is a conspiracy against the people Iraqi because it is only on the situation and whether there were any problems Iraqis are able to develop solutions and no one has the right to interfere in Iraqi affairs.

    He said that the presence and under the roof of the U.S. Open is a fundamental problem facing the Iraqis and we do not accept the division of Iraq and whether there were options is an internal Iraqi is not entitled to any foreign body to give the provisions would fragment Iraq confirming what emerged when U.S. forces from Iraq, we will see greater coherence between Iraqis.

    The Obaidi to the American pressure on Iraqi decisions and stand behind it, especially the interests of its own interests and therefore not easy to decide to withdraw the United States to take a step or inconsistent with Strutijetha in the region and America troops came to the dark eyes of the Iraqis but for their interests in the region, pointing out that U.S. pressure Includes not only the government or the Iraqi political forces and even governments in the region for access to U.S. objectives and interests.

    And the Iraqi government's ability to escape from the grip U.S. confirms Obaidi, if we look at the Iraqi reality America is an integral part of the Iraqi case and not easily relinquished its interests in Iraq and the region at the same time, no matter howpoliticians act Iraqis are exercised influence the U.S. administration on some political forces and therefore there is coordination With those forces to preserve the interests of both sides and the result can not be separated from the U.S. role as Iraq, at least for the time being.

    I think this article sums up nicely the situation as it is at present.

    Row over Iraq Elections Law

    The Kirkuk issue has always been a major problem in Iraq. Recently, the Iraqi parliament had a tough time to approve the elections law because of the disagreement over voting in the disputed oil city of Kirkuk.

    Finally, last Tuesday, the Iraqi parliament passed the law, setting guidelines for provincial elections, despite a boycott by Kurdish lawmakers.

    Soon after the elections law was put to vote, the President of the Kurdish region, Massoud Barazani, rejected the resolution. Iraq's President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, and Adil Abdul Mehdi, his first deputy, also rejected the law. The third member of the Iraqi Presidential Council, Tarik Al Hashimi, was out of the country.

    The Kurds were protesting the secret ballot setting out a power-sharing arrangement in the Kirkuk region, with Kurds, Turkmens and Arabs getting the same amount of power.

    At one stage, some members of the parliament, including those belonging to the Kurdish alliance, Supreme Islamic Council, and Bader Organisation representatives walked out of parliament in protest against the draft law. As such, it was not put to vote as scheduled.

    Later, the parliament continued its session and the elections law was put to vote. A majority of the lawmakers who stayed on voted for it.

    After the first session of the parliament, held some years ago, this is the first time Iraq is facing a major political problem.

    The Presidential Council will not convene, unless its three members are all present to reject the law. If that happens, the law will be returned to parliament once again as per the provisions of the Iraqi constitution.
