Saddam's Iraq was indeed held together by force. That's my point. Iraq doesn't want to be a country. Let's take the Kurds for example. They want to be an autonomous nation, Kurdistan. We used our force to help them by preventing Saddam from crushing them. That was a good use of force on our part. We're not in Kurdistan propping up a government that can't stand on its own. The Maliki government is different, it's a fiction. It would collapse in a second if we left. It has no legitimacy and no public support. Everyone's just biding their time till we leave so they can divide up the country. It's inevitable. No flowery rhetoric can change it. SD
