Ted,

There are some good articles in today's WSJ about the option of creating a autonomous Kurdish state. Even the Turks are saying it might not be all bad.

From a strategic perspective, it might work for us as well. Using very few of our military and economic resources, the Kurds could probably put together a viable and stable state. And it would shrink (at least geographically) our mess in Iraq, and maybe we could pull out some troops. Maybe an all Arab Iraq would be a more manageable situation for a UN force.

How you get to there from here I don't know. But it might be a small step in the right direction.

You look at Iraq, you have to wonder where this will end. I don't hear anyone making predictions. I don't hear anyone offering solutions. It's really a freaking mess.
