Iraq is Iraq as it is--and it is the country of all Iraqis, just as Britain includes Irish, Scottish and Welsh citizens, France has Corsicans, Alsatians and Bretons, and Spain contains Catalans and Basques.
It's not only the Corsicans who want to know whether French democracy means more than the rule of the majority: the Basques, the Bretons, the Alsatians and many more could pose the same question.
It was a shame that made many of us pretend to be something else when we first hitchhiked abroad in the 1950s or 1960s--Luxembourgers, Dutch, Alsatians or Swiss, for example.
