Ethnic and sectarian quotas destroyed Iraq and transferred to Syria

Abdel Bari Atwan
If half the fighters who are on the ground and the Syrian fighting to topple the regime linked groups Islamic Jihad militant , the National Coalition Syria can not claim to be the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people , and has the mandate , therefore, to sign agreements of a constitutional nature , such as the recent agreement signed with the Council Kurdish National , and increased the Kurds in the Council membership to 14 members , and almost agrees dropping the word " Arab " from the name of the state, after pleading guilty to the national identity of the Kurds.
Syria Per Syrians in the framework of justice and equality, and the Kurds are an integral part of the fabric of demographic Syrian them the same rights and their duties themselves, but the dispute is about the validity of the coalition , such as Syria at the Arab Summit last in Doha, to sign agreements , though non-binding, pave the way for ethnic and sectarian quotas in Syria , while accusing the regime applying the same standards in the country.
Quotas of ethnic and sectarian introduced by military ruler, U.S. administrator Paul Bremer to Iraq, and with the help of Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN envoy to Iraq at the time, and reflected grossly in the Governing Council , is founded to divide Iraq and realistic, and plunged in the ongoing civil war ten years ago at home .
National Council Kurdish With all due respect to him, does not represent all the Kurdish parties in Syria, and the National Coalition Syrian does not represent all shades of the Syrian people , not even the Syrian opposition armed and peaceful , and it was Mr. Kamal al-Labwani and other members of the coalition were right just to reject this agreement and guilty.
Constitutional issues concerning the name of the state and its structures and its flag and its institutions, should not decide or manipulated , and must be left to the elected parliament , legal experts and Constitutionalists who are supposed to put the Syrian Constitution harmonic new after achieving national reconciliation and to devote the coexistence within the framework of the civil state of democracy.
If true , Mr. Labwani sayings that talk about external pressures imposed this agreement, then that means that the National Coalition does not have an independent sovereign decision and this would inevitably apply to any state can be built by or governed in the future.
Six months ago, was almost the coalition has the support of more than one hundred and twenty countries constituted system friends Syria, and won recognition of this group as the legitimate representative and sole of the Syrian people during the meeting in Marrakesh in April last year, just days after the Arab summit in Doha that stop on , featuring Mr. Maaz Khatib told the kings, presidents and princes in historical precedent , now changed the picture entirely, no longer stand a coalition quarter of this support enjoyed by , even by his allies, the Americans who fell trust him to low levels, and this explains the reluctance to provide it with modern weapons can fall into the hands of jihadist groups .
It is certain that this increased frequency after the British study, which confirmed the presence of a hundred thousand fighters in the ranks of the opposition to a distributed system a thousand fighter Battalion , half of whom belong to an Islamic jihadist groups loyal ten thousand of them to "Al Qaeda" .
Hence , any representation of the Syrian armed opposition and peaceful, at the forthcoming Geneva excludes these groups , as it excludes the Syrian Coordination Authority does not reflect the facts on the ground in Syria.
Successive U.S. administrations excluded the Taliban refused to recognize them or their representation in the political process, Afghan as a movement "terrorist" but had eventually to negotiate with a representative of the Afghan people and for safety , turning Hamid Karzai Babaúth green to the imagination مآته or Scare crow)) isolated in his headquarters and protected from Marines after he suffered more than a dozen assassination attempts and suicide bombers arrived at the hall receptions .
U.S. Russian Geneva Accord which provided for the removal of Syrian chemical weapons has never touches to the legitimacy of the regime of President Assad, has never spoken about his death or survival, was not consulted and the foreign ministers of the country, the National Coalition , did not bother thus refusing , any coalition agreement .
Chemical weapons will go inevitably , in whole or in part , in the end , but the system remains until the next presidential election at least , and have a decisive force on the ground , whatever the trench in which it stands , is the one who will draw the features of the new Syria .
Experience Libyan worthy of study by the regime and the opposition together, to draw lessons from , Fine Colonel Gaddafi Wayne Mr. Mustafa Abdul Jalil , Chairman of the National Council of the Libyan interim , Wayne Mahmoud Jibril Wayne Abdel-Rahman Shalgam , the most important question is where and how you became Libya.
