I disagree with Buckley here but think Iraq would be in better shape if it had been partitioned.
Buckley deserves repect. There would have been no conservative revolution without him.
Easily said but totally wrong. How would you divide the country up? Who would decide what belongs to whom? How would the oil wealth be shared? Who would control the port facilites? What would Turkey and Iran do if a Kurdistan was formed on their borders? Who would be in charge of Baghdad?
Partition is the last thing we want. The Iraqi constitution allows for some federalism and local autonomy.
