I think Iraq cannot run itself until it agrees to a purely secular state (which IMO is impossible).

On the other hand, if we leave Iraq unstable, it (and its oil) will fall to Iran.

Thorny problem. As long as the problem of islam is not addressed directly, the entire western world is damned if it tries to defend itself and even more damned if it doesn't.

The time for clear definition of the enemy is upon us and, with that definition, a clear strategy must be developed for confronting the problem of fundamental islam everywhere. Until fundamental islam is expunged from the world, it will, like cancer, regrow and threaten the world again. Next time, however, WMD's will be even more lethal and horrible.

At some point , we may have to let the Shia and Sunnis fight it out on their own, while American troops watch from a safe distance.


Maybe then they will get it out of their system.


We can't undo 1200 years of Sunni-Shiite hatred in 3 months.

Al-Maliki, who relies on political support from the cleric Muqtada al- Sadr, said the strike against a figure in al-Sadr's Mahdi militia in Sadr City "will not be repeated."
