"Buddy, I'm all for letting the tribes kill each other. That would leave fewer of them for us to kill, if things go wrong. The only problem is, that there are a lot of innocent people there that will suffer."

Well, yeah... that pretty well is a necessary accoutrement of civil wars.... (Still, it *does tend* to settle matters in the political sense --- just look at the US's civil war --- and the resolutions 'stick', unlike foreign-imposed political solutions....)

"I was just referring to the fact that many leaders have tried to get his enemies to fight each other, sat back and thought he was safe, when the whole scheme blew up in his face. That's all ancient history though"

Actually... that tactic historically has a WHOLE LOT BETTER success rate then trying to occupy foreign lands does....
