<<It is not that simple>>

Simple, did I imply any of it was simple :>)?

I think it is so complicated, it is beyond we mere mortals ability to understand it. The only people who think it is simple are people who think simplistically.. But then they are almost always wrong.

When I am trying to figure out something too complicated to know for sure, I look for different ways to answer the questions. E.g. take diet. a million theories, so I decided instead to look and see who was living the longest and eat what they eat-lol.

ME: Let's take what we are pretty sure of and build on that. This by and large is a sectarian war. Iraq should not even exist. Everyone will be much better off if they divide Iraq into three states. Kurds to the north, Shia to the south and Sunni to the west. Sunni's have no oil in the west though.

The oil is in the north and south; but the tribal continuity helps keep peace. Syria should also probably be broken up with the eastern Sunni in Syria joining the western Sunni in Iraq. And so on and so forth

Addressing all of the sectarian stuff and global dynamics is ten times more important than worrying about friggen terrorists. If I hear that word one more time I will wretch.

The are all just different types of 13 century people acting like 13th century people act with big powers behind the scene. That is what Obama is looking at I hope.

That is the reality we should be addressing.

Bush did not understand any of that when he invaded.
