This tripartite division of Iraq is the only way Iraq is ever going to
function as a unified state, Wavy. And it should not be up to Bush, al Maliki, al Sadr, or anyone else but the people. Let them determine their governments. Regardless, the Sunni contingent in western Iraq will continually fight the other two states for control of Iraq's oil reserves (because western Iraq is nearly oil bereft), but they could also be given economic considerations by their neighboring states to alleviate the discrepancy. Hell, Syria could even annex them (they're Sunni as well). Kurdistan is and has been quasi-autonomous for over a decade. The Shiites are in control of Iraq now and are the majority,so don't look for them to give up their majority rule except under duress, which the Kurds and the Sunnis cannot level against them, unless they gain support from extr-Iraqi sources. This nation should either be a three-state federalized union or three independent smaller states. Otherwise, they will probably be fighting for another two or more decades...

With Everything We Know About Iraq, What Do We Believe?
Saul_Relative: I believe that Joe Biden's resolution is the right one for Iraq. Iraq should have been a separate nation. One section for the Sunnis; one section for the Shiites and one section or region for the Kurds. Let them decide not Maliki, Al-Sadr or Bush. Let all the Iraqis participate in this important decision.

Saul_Relative,
What ever you call it my friend! It is costing America 200 billion, whenever "they" call for another printing. And where is America's return? Freedom is very expensive and brutal on Bush Planet!

Of course they are, Shams. Dad was head of the CIA at one time. He was
president. He's also part of the corporate scene. Put it all together and you get big bucks. The arms trade, legal and not so legal, is one of the most lucrative in the world. Add that to oil. Then throw in the Christian angle (tangentially, Blackwater). The Bush family has their hands in the international businesses that produce the best returns on investment, day in, day out -- oil, guns, religion, politics. And there it is...

Everything we know about Iraq
The governments of U.S. Britain and Australia started an illegal war based on lies. The Coalition of the Silly is now losing a war they should not have started. Yes they should pull out of Iraq, but WHO
