Such would be of benefit to the whole world and to all peoples
on Earth.
It is easier done than said. There has been plenty said and no
progress.
What needs to be done
Seek out what can be agreed by all. Omit talk about anything
else.
Decide the basic essentials, which would be agreed by all men
and women of goodwill, which might exclude George Bush. So be it.
The first priority for discussion and for decision by all people
of Iraq, is to decide on a monetary system that can please
everyone.
Will Iraq have a single common currency, for the whole, or
should each division of Iraq have its own currency.
If Government or Governments in Iraq, each had only one
function, that function must be to create and issue its
currency. A Parliament that does not have control of the
creation and issuance of its own money, is a meaningless cipher.
Therefore if it were decided by the majority of people living in
Iraq, that a single common currency for the whole country would
serve them best, then automatically they would come to have one
Government and one Parliament.
The drafting of a constitution would then be placed on a back
burner until Parliament became established.
Likewise if each sub-division of Iraq, be that two or three or
even more in number, each chose to have its own currency,
created and issued by its own Government and Parliament, all
talk of a constitution will be put on hold, until that process
of creation is complete.
The reason for all this, lies in the fact that whosoever creates
a Nations currency, has total control, power, dominion and
sovereignty over that nation.
So that if the Kurds for example, decided to have their own
currency, they would achieve the only independence worth having.
Knowing George Bush, such an idea for Iraq, would give him
apoplexy. It would kill him politically, and he would become
history.
It might cause civil war in America, but it would bring peace to
Iraq.
