Home at tipping point

Iraq is a country based on the tipping point. Was always the case and will remain so. Iraqis are used to fight wars on the other. It has not, Iraq is a leader cares about the country and its citizens. The dreams of leaders consistently greater than the borders that surround the country, but smaller than it should be. The president of the Republic of Iraq, a former Saddam Hussein, declared in the year 1980 a major war on Iran. Was apparently a war between the two countries on land and water, but in the original war of Sunni Arab states represented by Saddam against Shiite Islam who reached power in Iran for a year and a half years, in early 1979. This war, which lasted eight years was "for the Iraqis" war does not make sense, is not matched in this war in world history. Now, 30 years after the start of the war the Iraqi Shiite leaders seek to restore that history, "but in reverse."

That the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, making the doors wide open in the face of several possibilities are insane, the first civil war between Shiites and Sunnis, which, as I said a proxy war for the benefit of others, and internal and regional circumstances is quite suited to that war, America has let it have a domain. So often, when we talk about this war, it is believed some of the Kurds naive as those that the outbreak of war will lead to dividing Iraq into three sections, a Shiite and a Sunni and a Kurd. "Asham Satan in Paradise," says Cynics, because the civil war in Iraq can not be shared by the Kurds. The Kurds will not achieve any progress in Kirkuk and Mosul, disputed. As the threat of Turkish intervention in the case of Kirkuk-based as it is in danger of encroachment by Arab countries in Mosul. It is ironic that these two cities Aerakitin seem as if they were out of luck regional countries more than they share the Iraqis themselves. Valmedintan red lines, if not before one of us we've got the Kurds. Therefore, the civil war in Iraq will not be going according to the scenario depicted by the gullible. It will be a war between supporters of Iran and its enemies. As is known, the Shi'ite leaders, the Arabs are not the only supporters of Iran in Iraq, but there is also a strong Kurdish tend towards them despite being a Sunni , including not- Islamic and Islamic.

With proximity to the war , which began Alaimha clear, supporters of Iran began to piece their strengths and exceed their differences. Shiite groups are opposing to the past, I began to reconsider the final draft of the agreement between them to form a new government that fully eliminate the Sunni Arabs in the hope of returning to power or at least in balance with the Shiites. In Kurdistan began a wing Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the mother and the Union movement of change, courting each other and perhaps conciliatory approach in the near term.

War now need to be an excuse for a warrior later defend. The leaders maintained that the Iraqi Shia in a large number of them exceeds the number of seats in the Iraqi Council of Representatives legitimacy to their sovereignty over the year, or marginalized in any major political decisions related to the present and future of the country, and this justification of the Sunni insurgency and their resorting to violence, which experienced under two weeks ago on August 26 as they turned Twelve Iraqi city from the far north to the extreme south to the pool of blood within fifteen bombings killed more than 250 victims. And the convergence of two wings of the Patriotic Union whose goal will be "no doubt" before everything back to clash with their opponents on the historic Democratic Party of Kurdistan and Barzani family, is a glorified demand in relation to Iran. The reunification of the Union and change, pushing them to the Union at all, in the forefront of these things their union in Parliament to bring them to the then 54 seats against 30 for the Democrat. The Islamists Fissesubhon their part, the flavor, which makes their situation because the taste of the new seats will be without a doubt dedicated to the benefit of the current, pro-Iran. I ask that my views about this and I take the burden, and I hope that does not exercise one lever on hand to assure them that they Stnzaaj of my views will not be pleased by this. I apologize that I have come to this excuses it as a result of my experiences that I've had.

The KDP is taken each time and then suddenly charged with major charges. For example, in 1996 and settle accounts with the purpose of the Democratic National Union launched "out of Iran," a sneak attack on democracy. In response to this step used a democratic Iraq. While no difference in basis between the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Iraqi Republican Guard, which helped the parties, did not bring good to the Revolutionary Guard of Iran as a response did not bring good for the Republican Guard, Iraqi Kurds. Fmkhalb Republican Guard are stained in the blood can not forget the Kurds in Iraq, and the Revolutionary Guard has reached its tanks and artillery to Kuysanjaq (in the Iraqi territory, a 250-km) in the July 28, 1996 to strike the Iranian Kurds blow. Logically, legal, the reaction does not entail responsibility, such as those that follow the act, even if the reaction was the heaviest of the act, but what happened that year was not the case, as we have seen, survived the perpetrator get away with and adhere to His reaction to the stigma of atheist thirty-August.

So we must not forget that it is not necessarily match the history of what happened , because history often is what is rumored is repeating. It is through the union of Naughty Union National Democratic find himself again in the face of a major crisis such as those faced in 1996, either to accept defeat would cost a lot and will pay tax is not justified by, or to refuse to accept it and then be marked a new historical stigma. Then we will find how to speak Speakers in the "parliamentary majority" and would turn to the parents and supporters of democracy. And here will not add new effects to the outputs of this scenario melancholic, but I throw on to say that the Kurds in an Iraqi civil war would not be a party to stand in the face of the Arabs, but will suffer the Kurds ill-fated ordeal and fight for the sake of others in the big scheme, but as I said, for the sake of a smaller Too much to fight for.

My opinion about another coup for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, not the result of mere imagination. But has many justifications, for example: a friend of the Union and Iran is not democratic as well. It is well known what it means to friend and foe in the case of Iran. Secondly, there is information in Sulaymaniyah machine operates openly, under the cover of National Information and free, to show the Democratic Ghoul look to the people of Kurdistan and there is daily mass mobilization for the next round of conflict and internal strife. This information drawn sword lawmaker awaiting a signal from the Islamic Republic of attacking a Democrat for new ones. The most obvious of all the evidence he published several volumes of a book titled "Memoirs of Jalal Talabani," aimed at the defamation and vilification of the Democratic Party's history and its symbols, making it an easy target for the next war. Although this book gig democratic, but the discomfort was temporary, could be erased Talabani little sweet talk.

The task of the journalist is to put his hand placements danger is not to find solutions as also required by all of the time. But he asked me a solution to this issue, I would say that the Iraqi citizens : the Shia and Sunni Arabs, Shiites and Sunni Kurds, Turkmen and Christians, and all other components, to deal with each other as citizens and not to turn into part of the approach of those leaders who have different dreams for the dreams of Iraqis. Iraqi dream is to rebuild Iraq for all alike.
