My position would be to keep Sunni and Shia odds and encourage Kurds to continue building their society and influence

Sounds logical.

But Iraq is really only the small piece of the picture.

I once had a Chrysler Lebaron that I really liked (for what it was, anyway). But at around 140,000 miles it needed a new top, new CV joints, new front suspension and the tranny was getting a bit, well, old.

I traded it in.

Replacing the $800 top was just a piece of the total story that totalled a lot more than the car was worth. Iraq is the “convertible top” in our current crisis because, truth be told, it is a perfect storm of crises.

On a side note, I just got back from watching Fox News in the cafeteria here. The unlimited - and serious - scandals taht are all getting legs at about the same time reminded me of NPR’s lament in early January about 2013: “2013 has been Obama’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year”. And I remember thinking at the time, “You think that was bad? Wait’ll next year!”

I honestly do not think we will survive the Obama presidency. It is prudent to prepare for that future.
