I dont know where my new view comes from. Perhaps because the sunni iraqis have knowledge of what happened in palestine and dont choose that outcome for their future. Sunni iraqis are arabs and have been in iraq forever. Pals floated in from other parts of the mideast and not all were arabs. Not too many had roots like they do in mesopatania. You might not be able to put Iraq back together again as it was but perhaps oil-share, local autonomy, fear of iranian control, fear of turkey, fear of wababism, fear of tribal leaders losing influence etc. may change the equation.

Staying between Sunni & Shia is both endless and thankless. Nothing we can do about that.

But this is not just a civil war. It is a civil war artificially incited by a third party, al Qaeda, who is still there & is still responsible for most of the suicide bombings and most of the American casualties.

To view it as just a civil war, and therefore hopeless, is to play exactly into Al Qaeda's hands.
