A perpetual civil war might not be such a bad thing for American
security.
Continuous internal conflict makes them very little threat to other
nations.

I'm not sure they are a "threat" anymore civil war or not.

Although a perpetual civil war would keep the dumbasses busy.

If they're fighting each other, then we can sit back and watch who is
arming
who. It will certainly make it easier to pick sides if you see Iran
sending
arms, intel, and money to one of the sides.

That's true, but unfortunately, we couldn't do anything about it
anyway.

The one mistake Rumsfield has consistently made throughout his Defense
career is the mistaken belief that quick reaction forces substitute
Division level administration and peacekeeping. As we are seeing in
Iraq, that is patently a false assumption.

I like his idea about quick reaction, kick ass and take names,
confrontation, but his insistence that you can use them also as peace
keepers and administration is stupid.

Iran will keep sending arms, supplies and suiciders into Iraq because
we can't seal the borders or effectively interdict them because the
forces are tied up keeping the peace.

But we can use those quick-strike forces inside of Iran.
