All the talk about civil war is meaningless. We live in a homogenous society despite everything that's being said and done. When I take a seat in the service taxi that brings me here from home every morning, do I turn to the guy seated next to me and ask him, 'are you Sunni or Shiite?' I never asked my wife before I married her whether she was Sunni or Shiite. |
People are worried sick. Death now comes on very, very short notice. |
They still want to rule us and they think we are not their equals. They want the Kurds to be farmers, the Shiites to be civil servants and lower-ranking army soldiers and policemen, while they rule. |
We still need time to mature politically. It will take time. |
