9:29 pm
instigate a conflict once a conflict starts there's a predictable cycle of violence that explodes i come i think primarily. with three main objectives. the first is to support the administrator ambassador. jerry brahma. in what he is doing in this transitional period for iraq if you look at the history of modern iraq since two thousand and three you might say that no leader has come through who's been able to settle iraq and govern with the consent of enough of the majority to bring iraq to a stable condition and to political security and of the have the ladder up by the head of. the head what i ate dairy but emma you fall for him. and that

9:31 pm
the. iraqi resistance to the u.s. occupation increased as to tarry in killings the country fell deeper into chaos causing some americans to call for the division of iraq it was almost as though they hadn't studied the lessons of the post periods. so fail. no. obama valid. but tool a them with a by the. by the valley so for timely i started seen at the start of. the stuff out at the. cli as a b. o. . that. here was that
9:32 pm
area. sunni leaders in iraq began to warn against the intervention of neighboring shiite iran into internal affairs of their country. they feared a sectarian war which would lead the country into a spiral of violence and arguably make division the only option. when you're confused. why the in the kind of you're on my idea of the iraq war here and i know why i what damon. and. orders a million but i thought he has such an ear when brady are. here why they leave the house. if it's not part of fear. ab initio.
9:33 pm
or sin. so for you what do you do if you are. what. have you killed to g.-d. i have made here all of that is. what. you. when i said dang it i ship bellows i want to get them all what has it all when under the boom it so will hold. what amounts to so little if you don't want to see the old boys yes what's that for a man to feel being a billet i don't like you to bury it so it was that they were i'm all in the woman has haven't yet it all how me to democracy that all how muted to feel in their will to see that it all the moccasin the part that i'm about and those they let me have this to us so that the horde. the kurds managed to achieve autonomy in the kurdistan region of iraq in two thousand and five. their political leadership is now pushing for a referendum on independence which could mean drawing new borders within iraq.
9:34 pm
and it is true that the rocky kurds are quite happy. where they are in their own. enclave as it were but the united states continues to look for iraq which is integrity and not divided into three truckie it. and them too right i. mean. that we've been. our by do what. werman how. and. of that can. be looked at how the. model. but sex pukekohe say a coon. becoming. the threat of division has also emerged in modern syria. the syrian revolution began in march twenty seventh
9:35 pm
the government of president bashar assad responded by a fierce war against all opposition with far reaching consequences. it represents a major challenge facing the international community and twenty sixteen. the situation in syria was exacerbated by the intervention of both russia and iran and their support for the assad government against the rebels. who are dealing with as many i mean about of the. iranian people and you have to do muslims sure you have the serial killer you. were mad at the fact the strategy said look if our north. korea you know well i mean death for analysis and no he in your. new fools.
9:36 pm

9:37 pm
a scrubs. carbonell and how for that any and the who. so he had had. enough. food and. raise. the you know what the doctor. had the journey. the sharia the leo how to live. a russian intervention which is to guard russian interests in their own just our own ally that russian intervention makes russia or stay closed so has to be brought into the talking that
9:38 pm
needs to proceed as does iran with his father as a proxy in syria and as does the european interest in the form of the flow of refugees from syria into europe the interest of the europeans in the stable near east to middle east and america in that row also of global stability with a particular interest on top of that in the security of israel. the international community is still trying to bring the parties together to find a solution to the syrian crisis but we don't want to divide the state dividing the country this part of the debates way whenever it's up to the syrians. now on the question of whether the country will be dissolved in order divided or not. seems to me that it is already divided in a very real way with the elements in the christians and the other is occupying
9:39 pm
a certain amount of territory and the sunni majority occupying the others and i am . not very hopeful in syria would be a. he put back together again how the books were in them. but the us now know if enough sort of walked the heart of. the methadone is still a. man. of the city and about in the way we use in the above are let's shoot the mission and know. that the whole rule will look at being the only he. has asserted that only in the distant men. in the ballot had compass and i could feel. the conflict in syria has become increasingly sectarian it has caused internal displacement of hundreds of thousands of people and the international exodus of
9:40 pm
refugees on an unprecedented scale in the modern world. some think that a form of federation is the only solution. is a set of the young do insects the equal among them could only i should do i'll sit on that dual hazel's act and know and know that at this late jam a technology used to slip. it could be added to. their will to decay that we do close to being we shot at the mouth about it but the one with the so we are doing well i hope and i will if luck will fit only. if it did then. and i'm at that the let the head. than back not only more heidi was a part of i but if you did any. of that. because i can and i'm at the corner of the if you did really get that. the wow but had the
9:41 pm
lead in the flick of the. larry any other layers of any color then i was and the dollar. is about to condole a bill had. america. really. i think that. the controls the country might should better the interest of israel because he will be sort of the legitimized ruler. after such a civil war after such carnage the worst scenario is that this integration of the net of the of the country into uncontrollable fifth dumbs as it were so i think that one one syria complete with a regime that is not particularly illegitimate in the eyes of the international community is something that would suit i think the current role is of israel. the islamic state of iraq and the levant isis has also complicated the situation in
9:42 pm
syria and has proclaimed the creation of a state in parts of syria and iraq. while american planes were bombing i saw in syria the also enabled kurdish groups to take control of certain areas of northern syria in october twenty fifth teen and to claim a kurdish province there. this could be seen as encouraging the idea of a federal division of syria as well as causing alarm bells for neighboring countries. in syria they are trying to get some kind of control with the help of russia the united states and other iranian regime and account on like has been lost in the one on a defacto have been taught where internationally they may not be recognized but defacto they will operate all of that and continue to. create kinds of problems in
9:43 pm

9:44 pm
you'll have a higher than is better model of this arnie has it into father mother tongue language as a being or offer she language in schools. is a legitimate demand and it could be expressed in the critic society so i don't see any legitimate and logical. demand for any kind of autonomy even if it was theirs it is going to be pitch a case demands and we're not in place to all debate or no good shit that kind of autonomy with on the b. how for all shows or towards. the ultimate legacy of the strike speak or agreement was to establish the rights of outside powers and interests to intervene and influence the politics of the middle east. the sense of instability and constant conflict it has engendered seems even more complex to address now than
