Iraq has a massive land area, and it is just normal take in other factors that it will he a hot bed for terrorist activities and organizations.

After the double suicide attack few days ago, this is what how Iraqi government is responding:

Quote

Iraq’s president ratified more than 340 death sentences for people with terrorism and other criminal charges, state media reported on Sunday, just three days after Islamic State (ISIS) group suicide bombers killed dozens of civilians in Baghdad.

An unnamed source in President Barham Salih’s office told state media outlet Iraqi News Agency (INA) that the approvals took place after "the cases were scrutinized from all their constitutional and legal aspects," indicating that they have received the final approval needed to carry out the executions. 

According to Article Four of the Iraq’s 2005 Counter-Terrorism Law, anyone found guilty of committing a terror offence is given the death sentence, with life imprisonment given to those who assist or hide those convicted of terrorism.

These people who are going to be executed belong to different tribes, and those tribes will develop anger towards what the consider an "alien, western supported political process". This will accelerate forming of new terrorist organizations and reviving ISIS, and in no time, Iraq will see rebellion in large areas of land, which means it will go out of control of government, and this in turn will lead to a new international intervention at best case, which will cause a new war-like situation.

That's a really unfortunate situation for those men and future actions going forward. That's a sticky problem to address too. 

Now what are your thoughts on solutions to bringing change to such a situation there? 

Convergent vs divergent thinking. 

I can't imagine the complexity of the problem. I don't know the answers.

I would love to see Iraq re-occupied again, and then there should be a plan to concentrate Iraqi citizens in certain areas of Iraq, and make the rest of the land a no-human zone. How about this?
