...how to keep Iraq from breaking apart...
Somewhere in hell Saddam is saying Miss Me Yet?
The Kurds do NOT deserve to be treated by us this way. It’s a crying shame!
Neocons are trying to push a military confrontation with Iran. Don’t fall for it.
Many of us predicted this, not specifically this Kurdish mess, but that our direct military involvement would be fruitless. This is a fact well established for thousands of years now. Too bad so many people are too stupid to learn the lesson. Deposing Saddam was a big mistake. Everything since then has ended in disaster. This will never change because the people who live there are consumed with hate.
The Kurds are our best allies in the region.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
