We can't govern Iraq. Neither can anybody else, at this point. Nature abhors a vacuum, and who do you suppose will fill it?

Is preserving a viable Iraq the most desirable outcome ??

If you look at the post 1991 period it hasn't been a
'country' at all .. We've enforced a 'no fly zone' with
northern and southern borders .. The Kurds have been
pretty much allowed free reign in the north as have the
Shias in the South .. The problem in my mind is how do
you setup representative government to run Baghdad that
has any chance to succeed .. I agree with LB that a
strong military will be needed but will the populace
accept either the US military or the former Baathists in that role ??
