Leaving aside the "politics"...
"Fred Dehl" wrote in message ... Harry Krause wrote in news:05adnVDg0K195mLeRVn- : ...on Iraq... How bad or good for the United States as a nation would it be if Iraq devolved into a much larger scale, ongoing civil war that resulted in the dividing of that country into Sunni and Sh'ite sectors? You mean like how it actually WAS before Churchill f%xked it up? Churchill only screwed up *one* thing... When he created Iraq, Iran, and Palestine, he failed to create "Kurdistan". We ought to carve away the northern oil-rich section of Iraq, create a "Kurdistan", and get them to agree to allow US troops to be stationed there. We'd have our needed access to Iran, Iraq, and Syria, and we can let the Sunnis and Shia fight one another. |

Uh, try to understand this: we are NOT going to be allowed to have permanent placement of US troops in Iraq, or whatever Iraq becomes. I know this is *the* pipe dream of you and your fellow neocons, but it isn't going to happen. Further, our supporting the creation of a new state of Kurdistan would infuriate our "ally," Turkey. Turkey is the reason for a lot of what went wrong in this war. Their last minute decision to block our 4th ID's advance from the north led to the escape to Syria of Baath Party officials, the money that funded the early stages of the insurgency, and WMD's. We owe Turkey nothing. If (or, more likely, when) Iraq disintegrates into three states, it damned better well be without our direct "help" or interference. Agreed. It's time to pull back to our bases, let them battle it out, and then faciliate the creation of three regions. |

Carving out Kurdistan will tie the Turks and Iranians panties into knots because their Kurdish populations, along with their land, will want to become part of the Kurdistan. |
