Dividing Iraq


A strong US ally, and Shiite leader, Anmar Hakim announced today that he hopes for a division of Iraq so that different sects would be able to function in their owns in semi-autonomous divisions of land. He did so at a celebration of the last holy day of Ramadan in front of a large amount of his supporters. Although he hopes for different sects, he also hopes that a sense of Iraqi unity would still be maintained.

I really agree with Hakim. The different sects would create a sense of peace that would otherwise be impossible to achieve without separation. I only hope that this could be initiated through a peaceful meeting of the leaders of the different sects.
