A few hundred men who scurried across front lines in a refugee exodus from Mosul sat on the ground in neat rows before an Iraqi intelligence officer who scanned the crowd for hidden militants.
The Iraqi government should be reworked to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, similar to that of Finland, and the legislative system should be a committee-style system like the one in Switzerland. The Iraqi government should draw up a basic constitution including these changes as well as direct election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
