The useful idiot Donald Trump may have compromised the peace process. The Iraqi government and Iraqi Kurds have done well in recapturing much of Iraq from Daesh, probably because they are not hostile to each other. That the Iraqi government can try and execute perpetrators of a massacre (that the perpetrators killed Iraqi soldiers after changing sides to Daesh makes those killers traitors as well) indicates the confidence of the Iraqi government. That's not to say that the Kurds won't have their little bloodletting in the aftermath, probably for religious persecutions resulting in death.
