<I have proposed the declare victory, remove troops to shiaa and kurd areas, help the north and south fight any civil war brought to them by baathists and osama terrorists, and allow the triangle to settle the future, using force. I have suggested that if we can prevent expansion of civil war into a shiaa/sunni struggle, the terrorists and nationalists in the triangle would end up fighting each other, especially because jihadists are mostly foreigners and that without the common US enemy to fight they would fight each other eventually.>

I prefer a reconstituted UN solution rather than a continued Arabian Nights nightmare. Somebody needs to provide leadership. King George II could do it, but seems disinclined, preferring his own short-sighted power.
