		Monarchy in the form of the “third kingdom-state” means that the monarchist institution headed by a sovereign is a guarantee for protecting and upholding the principle that declares the constitution as the “supreme law” giving and substantiating legitimacy.
		The constitutional symbolism of the king is a token of constitutional sovereignty and a lever of strict implementation preventing any political or military group from attempting to establish its own monopoly of power.
		To have a king fulfilling his constitutional duties is to have the monarchist institution as part of the decision-making centres in the kingdom-state.

	Towards a New Iraqi Politics
		The group of six, or G6 as it came to be called, comprised the two Kurdish parties, the PUK and KDP, the Shia Islamist movement SCIRI, the Iraqi National Congress, the Iraqi National Accord and the Constitutional Monarchy Movement.
		One of the goals of the meeting was to create greater unity within the ranks of the Iraqi opposition and to that end the G6 agreed with the US recommendation to hold a large and representative conference to bring the Iraqi opposition together.
		The memorandum and the letter, and other similar writings from the Iraqi grassroots, revealed a fault line within the Iraqi opposition, between a broad Iraqi public and the leaders of the G6, that was quite different to the fault line within the group itself.

		While the Iraqi groups — split along ethnic, tribal, religious and political lines — are close to agreeing to democratic principles, infighting over who would be in charge in the face of regime change is threatening the plan, to be presented at a conference meant to highlight unity among Saddam's foes.
		Another area of friction is that all six Iraqi opposition groups are trying to stack conference seats reserved for "independents" with their own supporters.
		Frustrated by a lack of agreement among the parties, four senior officials on the Iraq desks at the State Department, the Pentagon and the National Security Council wrote a toughly worded memo to the opposition groups outlining a uniform position for a conference Washington had hoped would be held in late November in Brussels, Belgium.

	Assyrians Wary as Planned Iraqi Opposition Talks Convene
		The conspicuous exclusion of Assyrians (also known as Chaldeans and Syriacs) and Turkman in the planning stages as well as the lack of agreement on basic issues of fair and proportionate representation had earlier threatened to undermine the meeting and potentially splinter the opposition into squabbling factions.
		The meeting, now scheduled for December 13 in London, was initially intended to demonstrate widespread internal Iraqi disaffection with the central government before the international community, but instead has showcased the incompatibility of the vying elements of the opposition.

	Jubilee Iraq - Iraqi views on debt
		Iraqis believe it is unfair for creditors to ask for interest and arrears, because during the sanctions years the international community did not permit Iraq to earn any foreign currency to service the debt.
		Iraqis say that the majority of the debt is odious, relating to the war with Iran, corruption and economic mismanagement by Saddam’s regime.
		Some Iraqis are prepared to consider part of the reparations, for example Shaikh Mauyad suggested that claims relating to individuals who were harmed during the occupation of Kuwait may be acceptable, but the claims of corporations and governments are certainly not acceptable.

	Constitutional Monarchy for Iraq-The Answer for PEACE in IRAQ ! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The idea of restoring the monarchy in Iraq has emerged as an effective way to recover the dignity of the Iraqi people, to reinstate the rule of law, to restore all human rights, and to revive the golden era which Iraq enjoyed under her monarchy.
		The adoption of constitutional monarchy by the Iraqi people will emanate from a true realization of the national responsibility that falls on each and every one of them, including the army and religious factions, and their understanding that the monarchic period was much better than all the regimes that followed it.
		The call for the constitutional monarchy to be restored in Iraq as the only means of solving the present Iraqi crisis is a matter for the Iraqi people alone.
