I agree with you.
When we start the reconciliation process in Iraq, the main problem is that there are two ways they will go. The first way is that they will have a meeting like this, where they will serve tea and coffee and take some pictures and put it in the media, and the minute you leave it will be over. This will have been a nice meeting where they take pictures, but nothing will really take place. They will choose from the Sunni leaders or the Christian leaders or the Yazidi leaders, who are also corrupted. Basically, they will bribe them to keep them quiet and that would be the end.
That is one way. That's the fear, that this will take place.
The other way is that you sit down with other countries and other governments under an international umbrella. It could be under the UN umbrella. For example, let's say that's what needs to take place; here is the election of reconciliation, and these are the steps you have to take on the ground. If you are serious about healing the wound of the country of Iraq and the nation of Iraq, it doesn't matter who they are. You see, I believe that religion is between you and God, but your nationality as an Iraqi is between you and your nation. Iraq belongs to all Iraqis, not Christians, not Yazidis, not Shiites, not Sunnis. Iraq belongs to all Iraqis.
If you are serious about that, you have to have an international umbrella, international monitoring, to ensure the process of reconciliation is taking place with a serious recommendation. If Iraq's Shia majority government is serious about this, they will work with the international community and their locals to ensure that this will happen.
Thank you.
