General Petraeus's efforts and some success in curbing the insurgency in Iraq and Maliki's efforts to build a strong central government run up against Kurdish desire for a loose federation and differences about how to handle the oil resources in the north. Things could get worse and a conflict occur if Maliki asserts control over the Kurdish areas in the north. The eventual picture after the Americans leave is not clear inspit of Petraeus efforts and a partition of sorts could end up happening between the Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
