But of course the ideal would be to have a regime which provides proportional representation for everyone - so that even minorities like the Kurds will have a meaningful voice, and certain rights and protections for their identity and way of life, to prevent the majority victimizing them. That may not be possible, but if there was to be such an occupation, realizing that ought to be the primary focus of it.G. Verlorennoreply@blogger.com
