Iraq's federalism guarantees justice
Since the establishment of the Iraqi state in 1921, there has been little improvement in democratic conditions for ordinary Iraqi citizens.

Successive regimes have failed to get to grips with many issues, the main one being the discrimination among Iraq's regions, and this underlines the need for federalism as a solution to these persistent problems which have left Iraqis living under injustice and discrimination.

Iraqis and Arabs alike have been living with values inherited from successive tyrannical regimes which left behind suffocating legacies and robbed the people of their will.

That legacy has been based on consolidating the one-man-rule and establishing a climate of fear in which the public is unwilling to accept anything other than the centralised regime.

Obviously quite a biased piece as it is from Aljazeera.

3. Oh yeah that's typical RW crap, that is (the article)
Ignore what the Iraqis want, ignore Iraqi nationalism, ignore all facts about Iraqis being tribal and that all tribes have Sunni AND Shia, ignore all the inter-marriages and the "Sushi" and the fact that Sunni and Shia have always lived intertwined.

Nope gotta ignore all the facts and do what's best for the RW agenda of corporate take-over. OIL.

:eyes:

And what no rightwingnut has ever to date attempted to answer me on; if the media is oh-so "librul", why do rightwingnuts oppose the Fairness Doctrine?
