The Only Way forward is: IRAQIA for Sunnis & other minorities ----------------------------------------------------------------- The only way forward for Iraqi region is the creation of a brand new independent country: IRAQIA !!! Many in the region, except Kurds would disagree with the idea but here's why they are wrong: Iraqia may be the only way to stabilize the region, bring real government to the Sunnis. Current Iraqi puppet governemnet is worse than any other in enitre history. Under Saddam there was peace and security, Shiites married Sunnis, Kurds, etc... Alcohol, smoking was usually allowed; there was no dress code (mostly), freedom of religion was allowed. But it was the illegal U.S./U.N sanctions (together with wars) that destroyed country's prosperity, infrastructure, klling millions of innocent lifes; especially young and old, not to mention leaving countless widows alone. (they need psychological help) Shiite, Sunnis, Kurds need to form their own country, not just federalism because that's still Iraq. There will be little peace until that is accomplished. Shiite and Kurds can work together but not Sunnis and Shiites. (Some Shiites cant work with Shiites too, some want divided Iraq, some dont want federalism: Sadrists and Badrists) Therefore I propose a new sovereign country: IRAQIA !!! Iran is now the major player in the middle east. That was expected. Saddam was their only obstacle, by removing Saddam, Bush allowed Iran to prosper, he hates that, he knows his stupidity allowed that situation to happen but I dont see anything wrong with Iran having a major say in the Middle East. But they will have a big say (they already do) in Iraqi affairs. Many Shiites are connected to Iran. And Iranian Shiites to Iraq. (Especially deadly Badr party who came from Iran after Saddam was overthrown; Sadrists are no picnic either but they have different mentalities) If a new country does not form in a reasonable future, people living in that part of 'Iraq' will go nowhere, there will be no progress for anybody. The current puppet government is all Shiite and it will remain like that for a long time. That's what the world needs to accept, sad but true reality. The prominent Sunni, pro Saddam provinces are Anbar, Ninawa, Salaheddin and Diyala. All, except Diyala have good majority of Sunni population. Diyala is 55% Sunni, 30% Shiite, 14% Kurds, but Shiites & Kurds are in control of police and politics, many Sunnis have been forced out from their enclaves. In October 2005, constitution referendum required approval of simple majority, but the measure faced one obstacle-if two thirds of the voters in at least three of Iraqi's 18 provinces rejected it, the vote would have failed. Those provinces were Salaheddin, Anbar, Nineveh, Diyala. Shiites and Kurds backed it but not Sunnis and Sunnis should not back it. "NO" votes exceeded two thirds only in two provinces. Anbar rejected the constitution with UNIMAGINABLE, SHOCKING MAJORITY OF 97% votes, Salaheddin rejected it with 82% voting NO. In Ninevah, a key swing province in northern Iraq, 55% voted NO below the two thirds threshold that would have resulted in the measure's deafeat, in other words 12% more votes were needed. After a long and careful research I came to logical conclusion that the three above provinces could form a new country appropriately known as IRAQIA. Diyala is most vocal in politics among Sunnis. In the 2005 Constitutional election, 51% of its people voted for the approval of puppet Constitution. One thing is for sure, it's a volatile, divided province and many Sunnis were forced out or killed. The situation in Anbar province is slowly changing, the Sunnis should not work with American invaders, as that causes more problems, invite them to their homes or kiss them, some of them do that, they are forgetting so many of them have been killed by Americans/British. Just because the situation on the ground in Anbar is changing, does not mean anything. The Sunnis need to put daily pressure on the Americans, if they want any success they need soon. The bottom line is Shiites are in control of Iraq and Iran will have a strong major say in the Middle East for a long time to come. Sunnis will mostly be ignored and sidelined. Now, let's take into account many Sunnis who did not vote out of fear, our of fear of discrimination, who were simply driven our as refugees and of course, were not present to vote and could not vote at the place they ran away to. All of these 4 provinces are connected to each other and they would constitue a new beautiful country without illegal american/uk/australian invaders/occupiers and the country would eventually prosper and live in peace. And since they are independent they will set up a trial for Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and others; UN could issue international warrant for Bush's arrest and US government must obey. Arresting the war criminals, sending them to face justice in Iraq, they richly deserve is truly appropriate! Currently Iraq is going nowhere, lots of Sunnis in prison, the commander of detainee operations in Iraq Douglas Stone does not give much damn who is innocent who is not (like all those who are in charge of american prisons, anyways)! By: The Freedom Fighter - August 2007 In November of 2007, Blix (Ex-UN WMD inspector) said that war is a disaster. He said: "The aims of the war were, first of all, to eliminate WMD that never existed in the first place; secondly to establish a democracy-and what they ended up was total anarchy; thirdly, they wanted to weed out Al-Qaeda, which were not there but which came there. (and made world and the area a hell-hole) What it goes to show is that alghough tyranny is horrible, anarchy be even worse than any tyranny." - Factual statement.

Shiites will now pretty much remain in control until otherwise as explained.
