THE IRAQ SITUATION
I have been blogging about the fiasco that is Iraq for a number of years mostly to point out how totally stupid Bush and his twits were for invading Iraq.
History tells us that the three groups in Iraq (Kurds, Shiites & Sunnis) were thrown together unnaturally by the British after WWI and as such, they are not really meant to be together. I have maintained that Bush will never unify this country and produce a stable democracy in the Middle East, his vision and his legacy.
Today, we are reading about the general elections that the U.S. is making them have so a stable, unified government can be formed and U.S. troops can go home. NO SUCH LUCK.
The Shiites are trying to disqualify the Sunni from running in the elections and the Sunni are sending suicide bombers to Shiite gatherings to register their displeasure at not being allowed to share political power and now, the Sunnis have decided to boycott the elections making them invalid.
The Kurds are just sitting in their fortified area with their oil and getting ready to repulse any in-roads the Shiites may want to make into Kurdistan.
Iran (Shiite nation) is taking a bigger role in telling the Shiites in Iraq what to do. Do you smell a civil war? Do you see us never leaving Iraq? Do you see us in another war, this time with Iran? Do you see more American soldiers dying in Iraq on top of the 4000+ we lost already?
Thank George Bush for that one; his legacy to us, our children and our children’s children.
