my opinion is iraq ought to be split 3 ways and you might have a chance with it. give the kurds the north, the sunnis the middle, and the shias the south. keep these people separate and things would calm down.

I'm leaning toward this opinion myself. Separate them like this, then it's up to them to decide if they want to play nice with each other in the future or not.

As it is, I see every side resorting to violence following any election where they don't get their way. At least separate they will each govern themselves with less likelihood of protesting the results and sinking into anarchy.

It is good that the American and the world is seeing the difference between Kurds and the rest of Iraq who do not believe or want democracy. Kurds sacrified with thier blood and ready to give all thier lifes for this freedom and democracy and look what the rest are doing. It is unfair to leave Kurds at the mercy of these butchers as we have done in the past, Iraq should be splitted, Kurds should have a separate state and the rest of Arab should decide to be one or two states.Any way that is what Kurds are asking for but USA policy is not accepting the fact that Kurds are historicly and culturaly totally different from Arabs, though a large number are muslims but no one believe in Islamic state and they never used terrorism in thier long struggle as Arabs and Palestenians are doing though America has betraied them so many times for the sake of thier old friends( Arab oil rich countries and Turkey). I think America should respect the will of Kurds or at least agree on what they ask for a REFFERENDUM ASKING KURDISH PEOPLE WHAT THEY WHANT, they have collected 2 million signitaures asking for a referrendum no body listened to them. That is thier right.Any nation has the right of self determination. I hope the American public can help and support this view.
