It would be nice if the two branches of Islam wiped each other out, but that is wishful thinking.

I hope those who needed it have learned a lesson about nation building and exporting "democracy".

The results of that failed doctrine has cost alot of lives and untold suffering lately.

Time to go back to a foreign policy based upon upon what reality dictates is in the USA's best interests.

Or stay the hell out altogether.

Let the Sh’ia militias take on the ISIS mob (who are Sunni). Since Sunni and Sh’ia Muslims really do hate each other, let them fight it out and have you-know-who sort them out later.

I know exaggeration is the norm but “Recently, one militia commander estimated their total strength at 800,000 men, dwarfing the official Iraqi Security Forces.”

So what is a close estimate and how does that make the families of the 4k Americans on their way to Kuwait feel?

The gist of it here:

The administration’s cumulative mistakes have played a decisive role in advancing Iraq’s implosion, the IS’s rise, and Iran’s regional hegemony. From the time that Obama took office until today, violence in Iraq has spiked nearly fourfold from the post-surge lows in 2009 — reaching levels not seen since the height of the civil war in 2006 and 2007. The Islamic State has conquered more than a third of the country while the Iraqi military imploded, despite a $25 billion investment in it by American taxpayers.

And so, Shi'ite butchers from the East meet Sunni butchers from the West. For all that I said criticizing the idea of nation-building in that country we actually left behind about as good a chance as the Iraqis are ever likely to get. Now the Kurds are finally carving out a bit of Kurdistan with precious little U.S. help but at least we aren't actively interfering. The rest of the country is likely to get worse before it gets better, and remaining a country at all doesn't look like the most likely outcome.

Numerous suggestions have been made to carve Iraq into three or more constituent regions, begging the question of whether carving the country up from afar wasn't the problem to begin with. Nevertheless, it is difficult to imagine an equitable solution. The Sunnis, shorn of Mosul and the rest of the north, won't have oil. The Shi'ites, joined at the hip to the Iranians, won't have independence. The Kurds won't have anything they won't have to fight for every day. And that's about as rosy a prospect as we're likely to see.
