Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for sharing your testimony with us and for some of the comments you've been giving the committee today.
I want to continue the flow of this conversation. One thing I'm interested in is that we're looking at some of the short-term solutions, which are critical, but I also want to talk about some of the long-term solutions. You mentioned in your opening statement mediation on the ground and local-level consideration. I want to try to relate this a little bit—I know it involves a totally different conflict zone—to what has been stable in the former Yugoslavia right now. We've seen a lot of distrust of neighbours—Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, etc.—and they're living alongside each other in relative peace, although there might be still some distrust.
As we see in northern Iraq, it was a region with a lot of different ethnic cultures. You mentioned that there's a lot of distrust. What can we learn from the former Yugoslavia and maybe implement in Iraq?
