Since the last week until now, we have been waiting for the news about approving the provincial election law but our great parliament couldn't reach a deal that end the disagreements about this law. The real knot of the who law is one city. Kirkuk or as some people like to call it (the city of the black gold). Each coalition or a group of lawmakers want to win the share of the cake or even the whole cake. I listened to many of them. I noticed that most of them talk about Kirkuk in a way as if its a prey for the greed and ambitions of their parties. They never talk about it as a part of Iraq because they dont care about Iraq. They care only about their limited personal interests.
I remember the first year when the same politicians were fighting on TV showing when their high patriotism trying to convince us that the united happy Iraq is their only aim. They could deceive us. We went to the election not for their sake but for the sake of Iraq.
Thank you very much Kirkuk because you could re open our blind eyes and we could see the naked truth of our unfaithful politicians.

Thanks to everyone for your work on this blog. I read it every time there is new writing, and it's always good to see your perspectives on what is going on. Americans need more of this.
