Is this what the Iraqis want?
The Iraqis want? Its what WE want. THAT is the entire problem...we are worried about what the Iraqis want. WE are paying a billion bucks a week and WE are losing 2 or 3 troops every stinking day and about 20 wounded everyday.
The Iraqis already decided they want a Constitution that mandates Islam as the State Religion AND states:
NO LAW SHALL CONTRADICT ISLAM.
What the Iraqis want is to continue as our enemies, marching on in their 7th century religion against the infidel. Just like the Japanese where all crazy in WW2, so are the moslems today. MacArthur didn't let the Japanese people decide what kind of Constitution they wanted, HE GAVE THEM ONE. We should have done the same.
Now we need to start over. Its not a total lost yet. We got Sadham, we pretty much got the WMDs. Now we need to get rid of the Iranian and Syrian Regimes ASAP.
Split it 3 ways - you can't have complete segregation, but the ones who stay under the Kurds must agree to get along with them or die or they can move. Same with the Sunni and Shiite independent areas. Then we get out and solve the Iranian problem with ICBMs.
I reckon after the Syrians see Tehran go up in a mushroom, they will overthrow that regime or Damascus gets the same.
Or we can wait for Dallas or Chicago to go. I for one, prefer for Tehran and Damascus to get the glass-over treatment.
