Well while we retreat from the ME what about the bigger question....see this:

BBC: 'Death to US': Anti-Americanism examined

So what should we do about Minnesota...is partition the answer there also?
See this:

Minnesota Dhimmitude Continues Apace

*****************************EXCERPT***************************

Katherine Kersten reports in today's Minneapolis Star-Tribune that the state of Minnesota bars Christians from any expression of their faith on state- and city-run colleges -- but are ready and willing to create prayer facilities for Muslims. The addition of foot-washing basins for their daily ablutions contrasts with their heretofore stringent policy of promoting or favoring religions:

[AntiGuv]

Minnesota is relatively useless, IMHO, but I’m still confident that a vote on secession would fail there, so the answer is no.

[Justa]

If you can’t handle fighting Al-Queda in Iraq how could you possibly handle Al-Queda in New York? Would you move to New Jersey?

From the Blogosphee:

Algiers Is New Front In War On Terror

************************************EXCERPT*******************************

It will be interesting to see how Democrats in Congress respond to the new front in the War On Terror now raging in Algiers. Here is their opportunity to show how they would approach the senseless violence of Islamo Fascists. Instead of running to Iran, maybe Pelosi should run to Algiers and discuss how she will not lift a finger to help them in battling the tide of Islamo Fascist violence? There is no Bush doctrine in place here to confuse them or for them to hide behind. No military in place, no mistakes, jst a clean slate dems. What you got? [answer: nothing]

Again from the Blogosphere:

Muslim Civil War Intensifies In Iraq

*****************************************EXCERPT***********************************

But it is not along the old Tribal boundaries.......

*****************************************************************

A bombing inside the Iraqi Parliament today is a wake up call to every Muslim in the Middle East. The bold move shows al Qaeda and the other Islamo Fascists will go to any ends to destroy moderates and democratic institutions. This is what every government from the local city counsel to the heads of state can look forward to if the US coalition fails in Iraq:

A bomb has exploded inside the Iraqi parliament building, causing several casualties according to reports from Baghdad.

*************************snip************************************

And this is not the first or last signal of the changes sweeping the region. There is a hopeful article in Der Speigel regarding the efforts by Muslim moderates to save their religion:

[LZ_Bayonet]

" The Iraqis hate one another and will never willingly live together in peace, at least not in our lifetime."

IMHO - There are 25 million Iraqis, and the existing level of violence is far below what would happen if that number of people hated one another and had the opportunity they have to engage in conflict. As IraqtheModel.com states, this is not a civil war, it is a war of the sectarians.

Joe Biden has the answer....lets go where there is a real Civil War....:

And Then What?

*************************EXCERPT***************************

Joe Biden wants American troops to intervene in Darfur in order to prevent the genocide that is occurring there:

Joseph Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a Democratic presidential candidate, called Wednesday for the use of military force to end the suffering in Darfur.

''I would use American force now,'' Biden said at a hearing before his committee. ''I think it's not only time not to take force off the table. I think it's time to put force on the table and use it.''

In advocating use of military force, Biden said senior U.S. military officials in Europe told him that 2,500 U.S. troops could ''radically change the situation on the ground now.''

''Let's stop the bleeding,'' Biden said. ''I think it's a moral imperative.''

Interesting. Is this the same Joe Biden who wants to pull out of Iraq and let similar forces conduct their own version of ethnic cleansing?

I'd like to know why we would want to retreat from Iraq and enable terrorists there to conduct genocides just so we can insert a ridiculously small force in the middle of a real civil war to supposedly stop a genocide there. The same Democrats who have insisted that Iraq is in the middle of a civil war, as an argument for our withdrawal, undermine that argument with demands for our military engagement in Darfur. What's so special about that civil war as opposed to the one in Iraq?

Well with regard to partitioning.....it too has problems.....from the Strata Sphere Blog again:

NOW the Turks want to invade Northern Iraq

*******************************EXCERPT***************************************

Northern Iraq and the Kurdish areas is one of the few stable spots in the country. The Turks should be shut down on this insanity immediately. There is no place in NATO (or the EU in my opinion) for a country that creates chaos when we are trying to create peace.

[Marine_Uncle]

Very good points in post #28. It is so easy to point the finger at one cause and ignore a similar one using the same basic set of rules.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Just to be clear....everything below the Excerpt line with the asterisks is from Captain Ed at the CQ....

[Marine_Uncle]

Fair enough. At least you post those with some solid background as the norm.

[Blue Scourge]

No, if partition happens I would bet money that the US would stations some forces in the Kurdish region to ensure that they do not get annexed. BTW taking Kurdistan would be no easy task, the Peshmerga are vicious.
