Who cares if it is not in Jordan's interest for Iraq to break up into a few different states? So, what right did the USA have to invade and make this a possibility ? who cares what the USA thinks of Iraq and its governance when its a couple continents away ?

We, allegedly, went in to Iraq to promote our own security; we'd be shooting ourselves if we end up partitioning the country, imo. Who knows what's best for the Iraqi people at this point, and quite frankly I don't really care anymore. I'd like to see us get something for our money, and partition is going to buy us a heap of trouble (my guess is it also turns out to be bad for Iraqis AND for the region): spacewar.com

>>" Iran and Turkey don't like that idea, because they have large Kurdish minorities that would like to be part of Kurdistan. OK. Let them. If Iran and Turkey were good to their Kurdish populations, then they would want to secede. Look at the Frenchies in Ontario - they vote every now and then on secession, and decide 'no'. If the Turkish and Iranian Kurds decide 'yes' they want to seced and join Kurdistan, it is because their current situation as minorites in their respective countries sucks, and therefore Turkey and Iran don't deserve to keep them. We should support the effort to redraw national maps that were screwed up when created ~100 years ago. "<< My goodness, won't it be wonderful when the California and Texas Mexicans want their part of California and Texas back.
