Answer my question by the way...by your own admission, if we leave the place is likely to get hot again. When will it stop doing that to make you guys say that it's' time to leave? If things are going as well as you say, then it's time...yes?

I'll answer yours. I believe that our presence in Iraq will be decreased rapidly -- within a couple of years. We may always have some presence, but there is not any reason to anticipate it will be a large one.

Now, you answer my question. Which of the countries I listed are able to exist peacefully with both Sunni and Shia populations?

You were trying to make the case that this is something that is not going to happen in Iraq. And I want to know whether you believe it is possible at all, impossible, or what, based on the other countries with substantial populations of both Sunni and Shia?

I think you get my point. There is absolutely NO REASON to believe that Sunnis and Shia will continue to fight into perpetuity as you suggest because it is absolutely clear from the other countries in the region that it is not only possible, but likely, this can be accomplished.
