In talking about governance, let's assume that ISIS miraculously disappears from Iraq. Iraq, as you pointed out, is an artificially created country after Sykes-Picot. I had the opportunity to go there in September and to meet with government officials. We talked about a number of things. The deputy minister of foreign affairs was particularly interested and I had a long conversation with him about federalism and it's already come up in today's context.
Canada is a federal system and it works, perhaps miraculously, remarkably well. It's not to say that Canadians in British Columbia and in Newfoundland are a homogeneous lot; we are quite different in many ways. Here it seems to me that challenges in Iraq are much greater and the biggest challenge, of course, is that there are Shias and Sunnis. It makes me wonder sometimes whether, no matter what kind of governance system you have, you can't somehow paint over the fact that there are Shias and there are Sunnis and that they don't seem to be able to find a way to get along. Is there a system of governance, other than dictatorships or oppressive regimes, that can make a country such as Iraq work such as it is, given the challenge they have?
