Many countries are now suffering from ethnic strife and divisions. We could name Iraq, Bosnia, Yugoslavia and many, many others. Why is there so much opposition in the diplomatic world to the obvious solution: Splitting the countries up so that there is a separately governed Iraq and Kurd Iraq? This becomes timely, of course, in view of our coming Iraqi invasion. Should we not push to separate Iraq into two countries instead of trying to find some kind of unified solution to keep it together?,P. The answer seems obvious to me, and I'm wondering what other Freepers think. D
