Iraq: The President's Dilemma
After the occupation of Iraq, the Americans proceeded to distribute power on the basis of my identities, based on their perceptions of the identifiable demographic assessment of Iraqi society! Thus, the Governing Council was formed, which was announced on July 12, 2004, and included 25 members, including 13 Shiite members, 5 Sunni and Kurdish members, and one member for each of the Turkmen and Christian components. This distribution was adhered to when the first Iraqi authority was formed: a Sunni president and two deputies, one Shiite and the other Kurdish. And an interim government was announced on June 28, 2004, headed by a Shiite, and his two deputies are Sunni and Kurdish, with 31 ministers distributed as follows: 17 Shiite ministers, 6 ministers each for Sunni Arabs and Kurds, as well as two Christian and Turkmen ministers!
