    The newspaper Union Emirati an article for the ambassador, former U.S. in Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, said Tuesday that said - in the coming weeks will be on the Iraqi leaders to make major decisions, if they have not formed a government of national unity led by a new prime minister encourages moderate Sunnis and their families to fight al « Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant »known as« Daash », Iraq is likely to end the division, and that in case of failure of the central government to make concessions to the Sunnis and the Kurds, Sandf Kurds towards the extension of sovereignty over their own territory and separation, and here it must be stressed that the Kurds are serious In their quest, which means that on the international community to cope with the new realities. The bears Iraqi politicians all have a responsibility to resolve the current crisis, but the bulk of the responsibility lies with the Shiite politicians who dominate the central government, which must Shiite parties choose a prime minister is able to share power, and the adoption of a system of decentralization of power, and not to politicize the armed forces, As for the Kurdistan region he wants, as a precondition for cooperation with Baghdad and to participate in a national unity government, enabling the right to export its oil resources, and the incorporation of Kirkuk and other areas which entered within the region, and to reach a compromise on budget issues, as well as to maintain its financial independence and maintain the forces Peshmerga, and even extended arms are necessary to protect the region from the threat of «Daash».
    And of course we can not say that the Kurds in Baghdad feel safe to achieve these demands and approval, which caused them to start their steps parallel preparation for declaration of secession. Perhaps the most important steps that speech was regional president, Massoud Barzani, in front of the Kurdish parliament, which demanded the formation of an electoral college set a date for a referendum on self-determination and to decide on the possibility of secession from Iraq. In fact, the Kurdish demands for independence or separation understandable and logical from their perspective, they are different from the Arabs of Iraq, and that their region is more stable and prosperous, and less fanatical and tighter. More than this, it can not rely on Baghdad to protect the area from «Daash», will not be able to do so any time soon, this time turning the region into a place attractive for Iraqi refugees fleeing from their areas, where includes the Kurdistan currently has more than a million Iraqis fled to the area for protection. On the subject of arming the peshmerga claimed by the Kurds do not forget that after the creep «Daash» on Iraqi areas and wide is the region shares the border with the areas of control of the organization, up to 600 miles, which means that the Kurds so that they can defend their land they have to own a gun is necessary and weave security relations with other countries, and because Baghdad suspended dues Kurdistan region from the federal budget is inevitable for the region from the sale of oil to pay his bills.
    With regard to the government led by Shiites in Baghdad have failed over the years to deal with the Sunnis and the Kurds as partners, reaching opposition to many of the year for the Iraqi government degree led them into an alliance with a terrorist organization considers «Al-Qaeda» tougher ones, but their demands are libyan drift Sunni areas of self-rule and the adoption of federal system and end the de-Baathification law, as well as to entrust the task of maintaining security to local forces. For their part the Kurds remained an integral part of the Iraqi state, but they have suffered over the course of the twentieth century of repression and oppression of successive Iraqi governments, to pray in recent weeks to stage the launch diplomatic initiatives on the regional and international levels to promote the secession effort. While Washington is trying to cope with the new realities on the ground, it must adopt a two-pronged strategy: continue to support Iraq's leaders to form a government of national unity, at the same time prepare for the failure of these efforts and the secession of the Kurds. The problem before the formation of national unity government that al-Maliki has no intention to relinquish power, and remains the main obstacle to this effort strong rejection to the Sunni Arabs, and Kurds, and even some Shiite parties of the extension of the rule of al-Maliki. This at a time showed the Shiite al-Sistani, a preference for change.
    Because I worked closely with al-Maliki when you're U.S. ambassador to Iraq, I know very well that it will resist stubbornly all attempts to replace it, and that even if he agreed to step down, it will look for assurances that a successor within the inner circle and reliable to his followers, and may insist on taking another position in the government.
    But in the absence of a government of national unity is no doubt that the civil war in Iraq will continue unabated, and worsen the conflict and sectarian chaos in Sunni areas, and it will increase the power of «Daash», while depend Shiites more on sectarian militias and Iran, which is the path that threatens American security, makes it imperative The United States continued to press for the government of national unity, and limited assistance in the fight against «Daash», but at the same time deepening relations with the Kurdistan by sending a U.S. team to assess the needs of the region and coordinate with security to protect him from «Daash». To help the region to pay his bills Washington should reduce the severity of its opposition to the sale of oil with increased humanitarian support to bear the burden of refugees. So involve the coming weeks on the fateful decisions for Iraq, in the best of scenarios will emerge on the scene in Iraq decentralized federal system relies on the Arab-majority areas associated with the Kurdistan within a relationship confederation. The alternative is a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites and the secession of Kurdistan. Although Washington should not abandon its efforts to help Iraq to form a government of national unity, but it must also weigh the alternatives realism other in case collapsed Iraq; In all cases, will be on America to strengthen its relationship with the Kurdistan to serve its interests.
