Image via WikipediaI have been blogging about the Iraq War since the very beginning. I considered the war as senseless, perpetrated by a delusional President Bush who imagined building democracies in the Middle East and it cost us gobs of money and thousands of dead soldiers and countless thousands of dead civilians.
I remarked then that the country of Iraq needs to be divided into three regions (Shia, Sunni and Kurd) and the oil business to be nationalized and profits distributed on a per capita basis to all of Iraq, otherwise a civil war will take place and may involve other powers (Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey).
Now I hear that our government is taking a second look at pulling our troops out of Iraq (47,000) which it promised to do and maybe leaving them there on a permanent basis?
Why? To avoid a civil war which, as I have stated over and over, is inevitable? Protests have already arisen in Baghdad against leaving our troops there; they want the civil war to start so that they can garner power and create a new Iraq, most probably, one run by clerics as in Iran.
Should we go or should we stay…well, we can’t afford to keep troops there…maybe if Iraq
Does it make sense to prevent a civil war? -If a civil war ends in Iraq becoming another Iran
It will be interesting to see what others think…
