Sun,
Can you pacify the shiite south and the kurdish north quickly while only diminishing the capacity of the iraqi rump state to make war over a longer time frame? Sort of a blockade or embargo scenario. Rump Iraq would be landlocked and if all borders secured, wouldnt the regime fall by its own weight? I am just theorizing here, not proposing. Still think this will take three months or so to finish and then the hard part starts. mike
