Good to see that you read Mauldin and Stratfor! Here, Stratfor's George Friedman is basically agreeing with several things that I've long posted on this site: Iran was the greatest regional beneficiary (along with the Kurds) of the US action to over-throw their long-time bete noir, Saddam, and put their co-religionists, the down-trodden Shiites, in majority control of the country (and Iranians have been sitting back and grinning like Cheshire Cats every time since that we've attacked their Sunni opponents... doing 'their fighting for them'); and the partition of Iraq into smaller (but more representative) 'statelets', or largely self-governing federated regions --- perhaps Shia south, Kurdish & Turkomen north, and a 'last man to sit down loses' Sunni rump-region in the west and middle (perhaps to be absorbed into Jordan or Arabia), NEED NOT in any way be a bad thing for American long-term strategic interests. In fact, such a resolution holds many potential benefits for the US --- certainly many more then a continuation of anything like current brain-dead American policy... that is only strengthening Iran.
