Interesting, informative article. Thanks for posting.
Actually, what this article suggests is that if we turf Assad, set up an occupation force that stays for at least 8 years and holds elections for at least two cycles, Syria will become a somewhat free and democratic country. The question is whether we’re prepared to stick it out for 8 years and lose thousands of men in Syria. Given that the answer is no, not turfing Assad is probably the lowest cost option we have. If Sunni Muslims want to turf Assad, they’re free to send in an expeditionary force to do so.

How many innocent Americans and Iraqis died because of this foolish and bungled attempt at regime change?
How many trillions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted in the mid-east as a result of the Invasion of Iraq?
And for what gain?

Algeria went through a similar turn after a long, brutal civil war against Islamists.
An interesting and worthwhile read, thanks for posting.
Maybe the myth of the revaluation of the Dinar will come true.
Less Religion is something I can get behind.
I always knew that turning the corner in Iraq was going to be a long-term enterprise. A couple of decades at least.
Shame on George W. for not telling the American people the same.
This is northern Iraq. Not to be confused with southern Iraq, which is crazy as a coyote on LSD.
Good article. No mention of the havoc reaped when 0bama had our troops pulled out early. The article did pay homage to Saddam and his ability to keep the country together and well run. Killed a lot of folks in the process though.
