I have predicted a civil war in Iraq a long time ago. All signs pointed to one as inevitable.
President Bush thought he could make a nice democracy out of the country and everyone would live happily ever after and the rest of the Middle East countries would be so impressed that they too would want to be democratic. That is the thinking of a dumb three year old.
No use crying over spilt milk, lets get to the task at hand.
To stop the killing before no one is left alive in Iraq, we need to split the country into three parts; Kurdistan, Sunni and Shiite-stan. The three groups should never have been grouped in the first place. The British just decided to form a country without first doing their homework.
The only thing that needs to be done after splitting them up is to guarantee that the oil revenues are split evenly according to the population. In this way, the whole question of who gets the oil is removed from the table. The United Nations would have to oversee this but now that we know some members of the UN are crooks, maybe a different third party organization would be better.
Split into three, the groups can begin to form a permanent country without slaughtering each other.
So you think they are barbarians for butchering each other's neighbors in this fashion? How about the Serbs. How about the Christians in Northern Ireland. How about the Tutsis in Africa. Are we really that inhumane to each other? Are we really just animals? You tell me - it sure looks like that to me.
