OT - Yiwu, the Kurds want a separate country the Shiite want control all over Iraq including Kurds and Sunni, the Turkmen want part of Iraq to go to Turkey, the Assyrians would like a mini-state for themselves - now how can you satisfy all without a civil war whereby another minority will be massacred?
