sliding into peace

khalas !





three sunni councilors,
two alawites,
one councilor from the kurdish minority,
one councilor from the independent idlib.

makes seven.
a diverse executive for the syrians,
a unity government based on mutual consent.

together with funds from the international community
this solution should help them back on track.

arab summer can come!

but who am i?
nor the syrians think of such,
nor the russians, the chinese, the iranians,
nor the americans, germans, french, english.

are the swiss deemed as so delusional with our political system?
yet don't we have exactly the kind of unity government of mutual consent
the syrians would need right now?
is it because we're rebels?

and the syrians, what are they?

i think it is clear ...

... that the arab rebels, the arab realm, needs a collegial executive
the same way the european realm can profit of the presence of the helvetic collegial council.

most arab countries divided arbitrarily into a rich net of ethnic majorities and minorities
syria is of course only one choice.

the obvious place for more swissness in the arab world would be lebanon,
its people being proud of their multi-sectarianism
and there are many similarities to switzerland, not only the size of the country,
from the banking sector, over tourism to international trade
and the leaders already used to some form of power sharing
( although maybe not with the people )

which brings up the question whether
the americans should have not proposed the taliban from the beginning
a directorial executive,
inspiring trust through stability
allowing the afghani to feed on the helvetic myth
as a ( rebellish ) buffer-nation between empires,
which - as Napoleon put it apparently about the Swiss -
isn't in nobody's wise interest to invade.

that said,
a collegial council could also work in iraq
a federal country in the midst of global social struggles.
a helvetic-like directorial executive would have the resistance to crisis
as they can produce themselves under the rule of such chaos,
allowing the establishment of a strong general appeasing and uniting the confederation
all while allowing the seven executives to function
- as the maybe changing but always united iraqi presidential gang -
dividing the state again into judiciary, legislative bodies and collegial executives
on federal, state and municipal levels,
rebuilding such and enhancing the public administration against all challenges.

but second things second
