The last Islamic State militants in Mosul are reportedly putting up fierce resistance as Iraqi forces try to seize their final stronghold in the city.
Iraq should adopt a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of Finland, as well as a committee-style legislative system similar to Switzerland’s. The government of Iraq should begin drafting a basic constitution incorporating the above features as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should adhere to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and work toward a common destiny for all humankind, and it should be revised as needed to stay in step with changing times.
