I thought this would be the outcome of a military intervention. Since I was right about it not having any chance of success, I currently favor a political solution crafted by Iraqis. But since there are at least 3 factions with differing ideas of what to do, witness the Iraqi-Iraqi violence, we now have a civil war.

I'm not sure what Iraqis want. Perhaps it is a three state solution. Perhaps it is a united Iraq. Let Iraqis sort it out. We need to get our troops out of the way. We can stand on the sidelines and offer support to any peaceful outcome, while making sure that terrorists don't show up trying to tip the balance in their favor. There are little or no non Iraqi "terrorists" in country. In fact if the US leaves, I believe that the Iraqis will self cleanse themselves of outsiders, who they may be tolerating right now seeing them as common enemies of the occupier, the US.

We need to change course, no doubt, for the current course has proven to be unworkable.

Bottom line, let Iraqis solve Iraqi problems.
