At Last

Finally the narrow minds have decided to let something new in. Hallelujah! Let's hope they figure this all out before it's too late. But of course there is no reason to change anything if you are always right.

The Council on Foreign Relations, which usually reflects State Department thinking, has recommended the restructuring of Iraq into six states under a single national government. The council, in a report entitled "Power-Sharing in Iraq," warned that even with elections an Iraq led by a strong central government might not be democratic......Phillips, a former adviser to the U.S. government, proposed the establishment of two or three states dominated by Shi'ites. Another state would be comprised of mostly Sunnis and a third state would be Kurdish. Baghdad would be a separate state.
"Consistent with the principle of decentralisation, federal Iraqi state and local authorities should have the ability to adopt laws that conform to local custom," the report said.
