chattels: I read where many of the gurus are calling again for the deletion of the zeroes project in the near(er) term. Please recall the following article from November 23, 2015, about five weeks ago, " Parliamentary Economy: delete the zeros need a safe environment ............ "

chattels: " the Iraqi Central Bank completed the previously all preparations for the project, indicating that it " has been postponed because of the situation security is stable "in what it said that" the application of the project to delete the zeros needs to assign by the government and parliament to make it a success after the stabilization of the situation in the country because the ground current is suitable for the implementation of such a project. "
 
chattels: " the subject of deletion of zeros is linked to the security situation closely because it will include all operating in the country banks to receive the old currency and replaced by the new and the old collection and destruction of pointing out the difficulty of the success of that process in the provinces experiencing control Daash parts of them. "
 
chattels: " pointing out the difficulty of the success of that process in the provinces experiencing control Daash parts of them. "
 
chattels: " ............ the provinces experiencing control Daash parts of them. "
chattels: WHAT HAS CHANGED REGARDING DAESH SINCE NOVEMBER 23, 2015 ?
chattels: NOT A LOT, IMO.

chattels: Again, I recognize that my narrative is not a popular one. If it " rv's " in the next three days I will acknowledge the superior insight of all others and shut up forever because I will be very wealthy and out of here. :)
 
Doug_W: won't we ALL "C" ?
chattels: The problem in Syria and much of the Middle East, ........... , is more about liberal tolerance of others, power-sharing and good governance. For a way out of such problems, Syrians can look to two Kurdish examples: the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (KRG) and the “democratic autonomous cantons” of the Syrian Kurds.
 
chattels: " ............. “democratic autonomous cantons” approach, ..............."
 
 chattels: Applied across Syria, this model would see the Assad regime keep territory it presently controls. Various rebel groups who accept the model (which would preclude the likes of the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra) would likewise keep their current territory and self-defense forces, at least until some later time if and when they decide to unite with others.
 
The different cantons would compete in terms of the quality of governance they provide their people, all the while remaining officially part of one united Syria. This kind of solution is not without precedent, as such arrangements put a stop to the grinding civil war in Bosnia via the Dayton Accords.
 
Most importantly, such a solution addresses the structural problem of mutually distrustful communities rather than the shibboleth of “Assad is the problem.”
 
chattels: David Romano has been a Rudaw columnist since 2010. He is the Thomas G. Strong Professor of Middle East Politics at Missouri State University and author of The Kurdish Nationalist Movement (2006, Cambridge University Press) and co-editor (with Mehmet Gurses) of Conflict, Democratization and the Kurds in the Middle East (2014, Palgrave Macmillan).

chattels: " It’s not about Assad and it never was " By DAVID ROMANO
 
chattels: " remember where the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was politically between 1994 and 1998, when civil war between the KDP and PUK threatened the fragile experiment in Kurdish self-rule.
 
Lack of trust between the parties and disputes over power-sharing and revenues almost destroyed the people’s future in that part of Kurdistan. The Washington Peace Accord of 1998 calmed things down by allowing for the creation of two Kurdistan Regional Governments – one run by the KDP in Erbil and the other by the PUK in Suleimaniya.
 
Instead of shooting at each other, the two administrations learned to live with the other and competed in terms of which could provide the best model of governance to its people.
 
After a few years of such co-existence, the administrations in Erbil and Suleimaniya were able to voluntarily decide to reunite into one Kurdistan Regional Government "
 
chattels: How many people know that the Kurds fought a civil war in the ' 90's and then had two governments for several years ?
 
chattels: " Lack of trust between the parties and disputes over power-sharing and revenues ............. ", sounds like current day Baghdad / Iraq, eh ?
 
chattels: Sectarian conflict or identity politics ?
 
chattels: Identity politics are political arguments that focus upon the interest and perspectives of groups with which people identify. Identity politics includes the ways in which people's politics may be shaped by aspects of their identity through loosely correlated social organizations.
 
Examples include social organizations based on race, class, religion, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, ideology, nation, sexual orientation, culture, information preference, history, musical or literary preference, medical conditions, professions or hobbies.
 
chattels: Identity politics is open to wide debate and critique. Minority influence is a central component of identity politics. Minority influence is a form of social influence whereby a majority is influenced by the beliefs or behavior of a minority.
 
chattels: Iraq is full of various kinds of minorities.
chattels: The Shia government itself is a minority. The Kurds are a minority. The list goes on.
chattels: " ...... is more about liberal tolerance of others, power-sharing and good governance. "
 
chattels: External forces, other nations in the MIddle East, and DAESH play upon minority issues and are creating havoc in Iraq with agendas contrary to the Iraqi interest.
 
zidziljian: :ninja:
 
chattels: My original point is that sectarian conflicts, competing politics based upon religious identification, is an oversimplified and exaggerated aspect of the turmoil in Iraq.
 
chattels: How the battle against the Islamic State is redrawing the map of the Middle East
 
 chattels: AMIRIYAT FALLUJAH, Iraq — Along the vast, zigzagging perimeter of the Islamic State’s self-styled state, the militants are steadily being pushed back as the forces­ ranged against them gain in strength. In the process, new borders are being drawn, new fiefdoms are being carved out and the seeds of potential new conflicts are being sown.
 
 A war seen by the United States as primarily aimed at preventing future terrorist attacks in America is being prosecuted for very different reasons by the diverse assortment of Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni fighters battling in both Iraq and Syria, often in pursuit of competing agendas that work to subvert the goal of defeating the militants.
 
chattels: " .............. the diverse assortment of Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni fighters battling in both Iraq and Syria, often in pursuit of competing agendas that work to subvert the goal of defeating the militants."
 
chattels: The Islamic State may or may not be vanquished soon — and a string of defeats inflicted in recent months in northeastern Syria, northern Iraq and most recently Ramadi have raised hopes that its demise may be closer than had been thought. ‘
But already it is becoming clear that victory over the militants won’t end the bloodshed in the region, said Fawaz Gerges, a professor of international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
 
 “There is little thought being given to the morning after, and the morning after is going to be as bloody, as chaotic and as destabilizing as the situation we are seeing now,” he said. “The heart of the Middle East has changed. The fragile state system is no longer there.”
 
chattels: " ..........the morning after is going to be as bloody, as chaotic and as destabilizing as the situation we are seeing now,”.....
 
chattels: Point : The ouster of DAESH does not equate to stability and safety in Iraq, IMO.  

chattels: 2015 In Review: The Year Iraqis Lost Hope That Things Would Ever Get Better Mustafa Habib In 2015, every Iraqi – almost without exception – paid a price for events in their country. Some Iraqis lost their jobs, others lost loved ones. But the biggest loss of all in 2015 cannot be measured. 31.12.2015 | Baghdad Politics http://ift.tt/1VAFbXD...

OOTW: ANYONE THAT WANTS TO TELL YOU HCL IS DONE - AND THAT IT'S A TRIGGER FOR WHAT WE'VE BEEN AWAITING –
 
I WOULD ASK YOU TO PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE IN OUR 2016 ENGLISH BUDGET THREAD - HERE IS JUST ONE PARAGRAPH FROM MR. AL- KHATTEEB - HE IS ONE SMART, AND WELL RESPECTED GENTLEMAN
 
OOTW: The only way forward to resolve these disagreements between Baghdad and Erbil is to pass the Federal Revenue Sharing Law and the Federal Hydrocarbon Law, as well as establishing the relevant federal institutions underpinned by these laws to regulate the practice in Federal Iraq across all provinces and regions.
 
With a failure to do so, current and future political deals will continue to be short-lived and fail drastically, prolonging the ongoing institutional and constitutional vacuum that has existed since 2006.
