Iraq is like Yugoslavia in that it naturally wants to be 3 countries.

The Kurds want to be separate and the Sunnis and Shiites hate each other. Like Tito, Saddam held it together by brute force. And now it's our occupation holding Iraq together. When we leave, Iraq will crumble.

The only questions are: when, and how bloody it will be.

One of my clients just got back from his fourth deployment and we discussed the situation at length.

I would urge you to invest the time. You might start to understand a little bit about what is going on there. At this point you are so ignorant -- as is RW -- that you just haven't any idea what's actually going on there.


That's just it. The soldiers I talk to say its exactly as described on CNN.
