For Iraq to maintain long term peace, the Iraqi Government must embrace the Sunni civilians and have Sunni representatives in the Government.

The same treatment should be given to Kurds and other minorities.

Only when :-
(1) Equal opportunities - in terms of jobs, housing, medical, education etc
(2) Inclusive Policies - to treat all Iraqi citizens equally irregardless of race, language, religion

- can long-term peace be achieved in Iraq.

Peace will be difficult to achieve if preferential treatment are given to certain race, certain group, certain religious belief - while ill-treating other races, other groups, other religious belief.

Development, benefits, welfare, job opportunities etc - must not have preferential treatment - but equal opportunities to all Iraqi citizens.

Only then can peace, stability and eventual prosperity be achieved.
