ARTICLE: Federalism, Not Partition: A System Devolving Power to the Regions Is the Route to a Viable Iraq, By Mowaffak al-Rubaie, January 18, 2008; Page A19

Another sensible explanation of why Iraq must be politically remapped as a federal state. Let the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiia each build their own security (new COIN of the realm) and thereby attract and sustain their own economic connectivity (usual coin).

This is why Steve DeAngelis and I consider Development-in-a-Box‚Ñ¢ a strategic weapon in a war on terror.

Connectivity demands code.
