I just read an article in a magazine with fairly wide circulation in which plenty of page space was wasted trying to illuminate the benefits of unified strategy and communications in Iraq.

Breaking the country up into more than one nation is evidently still a few months off from being mentioned in main stream media. Any thoughts, feelings, perceptions, interesting show observations?

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


I've been advocating this for over a year. Sunnis will not feel secure living under Shias and vice versa, and the Kurds have already split themselves off from the others. Forging a unified nation will take far more control of the Iraqi government than the USA can exert, because the ONLY way that I see to creating a unified nation is to keep kicking partisans out of high office until you find the ones who are willing to buck both al Sadr AND the Sunni insurgents ... and even if you found someone willing to do that, they would have absolutely no popular support.

The Iraq Study Group dismissed this option in one or two sentences: the costs are too high, and people are too intermingled for a clean division. But they would have said the same thing about (the former) Yugoslavia. The one difficulty in splitting up Iraq is what do do with all that potential oil money. The Sunnis don't want to give up any claim on what they see as their portion. It might be possible to buy their agreement with lots and lost of rebuilding aid, but the Sunnis must be able to see some sort of ongoing future income besides aid. Because they are clustered around Baghdad. I suppose they could become something of a financial/ industrial/ cultural/ educational center, but that really requires some thought.

Whatever the consequences of not breaking up Iraq here's what you'll get if you do:

Shia Iraq, supported by Iran will be forever engaged in war with Sunni Iraq, supported by Syria. They'll merely become pawns between Iran and Syria, much like Vietnam between the US and Russia.

If anyone noticed I haven't spoken about the Kurds, it because in all likelyhood they'll be dead. Before squaring off in strings of wars Shia and Sunni Iraq will wipe out Kurd Iraq.

While I agree with what Citizen said, I don't see how any of that would be different if Iraq stays one country. Once the Americans leave, the Kurds still won't be long for this world, and Syria and Iran will have close ties with the Sunni and Shia regional leaders.

The first two don't really compare. Iraq as a country was drawn up relatively arbitrarily during colonial times with scant respect to ethnic/religious divisions, whereas Ireland wasn't partitioned to alleviate tension (as Iraq would be) and Palestine wasn't ever a country. Yugoslavia is comparable in the sense that it was a political entity that was forced upon different ethnicities, but since the split-up(s) the Balkans are in better shape, in spite of some serious teething problems. If anything, Yugoslavia could be taken as a case study of how things can go very wrong if ethnicities who don't like each other are forced to be part of the same country against their will. All of that ethnic tension that led to the Balkan wars was brewing for decades.

Wow. Intelligent dialogue, analyses, and commentary without any name-calling (except the title of the thread). I am impressed. And learning a lot. Thanks guys and gals.

I hardly ever see any perfect solutions when it comes to either splitting or unifying countries. There are unsightly costs either way. Question is, who will division benefit most? The Iraqis or us?

My biggest concern in splitting them up is we promised Turkey we wouldn't do that. They don't want an independent kurdistan on their southern border. However, things clearly aren't working on a unified government. Might be worth going back to see if Turkey would buy in some how....

This isn't the best option, and I honestly don't think the natives will go for it. If you had paid attention (and I don't mean that as an insult, because most people didn't) during the Yugoslavian war, you'd know that's not an easy thing to accomplish. No one wants to give up what they believe is their home, not even a part of it. Just look at Bosnia.

We don't need control to do that. When Yugoslavia split into Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Motenegro, Slovenia and Macedonia, the United States was key in bringing about the end of the war and it was without the use of control. We simply provided the neutral territory the leaders neaded in order to draw up the lines.

We didn't force the separation of the Yugoslavian nations or the partitioning of Bosnia, the respective leaders made those decisions, we simply facilitated their talks.

And don't kid yourself. As long as we have soldiers on the ground, we have influence over there.

Hate to say this, but I agree with Kaneman....

But he should really explain the concept to Bush

http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/06/10/bush-albania.html

" U.S. President George W. Bush said Sunday there's no need for "endless dialogue" on the future status of the breakaway Serbian province of Kosovo, saying "the time is now" to move toward independence. "

My advice to Kaneman, small words and talk slow

I think Kaneman is refering to the principles on which your country was founded, and how far you actions over the past sixty years have taken from your origins

Right now any made in the US solution will be torn down and left hanging with the collaborators off the lampposts, and rightly so.

While the situation is bad in Iraq, Afganistan is really the more dangerous problem anyway.

Historically it fits the regions pattern. The problem, as I see it, is Kurdistan. If the Kurds get their own country then they will immediatly be at odds with the Kurdish regions of Iran and Turkey.

We have already seen some incursions by the Turkish Army into Iraq because Kurdish militants in Iraq, stable and prosperous, have been supporting the Kurdish militants in Turkey. A fully independant Kurdistan would likely lead to war between America's strongest Iraqi ally and its NATO partner or worse, a three way dance between Turkey, the Kurds, and Iran, which leaves us in the position of figuring out how to support the fight against Iran but not the one against Turkey.

I spent some time in Kurdish Iraq in 2002-2003. In my opinion, the Kurds can take care of themselves. If the Sunnis or Sheite attacked, they would never do it together. The same hatred that's keeping at each other's throats today would prevent that. Turkey would also have a royal shit/heart attack/baby cow birth if that happened because it would mean a couple million Kurdish refugees coming back over thier border. So even though the Turks hate the Kurds, they'll back em up in Iraq. I'm not trying to be a know it all Cit, because I've been wrong once or twice, but that's how it looks to me.

True, I wanted only to emphasize that the discussion isn't bad, especially if it yields a 'better' approach. I think there was not enough discussion leading up to the decision to go into Iraq; so I'd rather see such things discussed now with hopefully a better decision made.

I will agree the US needs to get out of the business of imposing solutions, and instead submitting suggestions; and in any case working on getting out.

Hard to say. The situation in Afganistan is definitely gaining momentum in the wrong direction; and if something doesn't change it will clearly go from 'not too bad' to 'worse' and possibly head to 'awful'. It's almost enough to make me wonder if Bush truly does not want things to settle out; he simply cannot get teams together to 'win the peace'.

I don't know if it is pratical or not; but at least at this point the Kurds seem to have a semblence of a regional government in place. -If- (and I have no idea if they are stable enough to do it) the 'central' kurdish authority were willing to commit to the integrity of the 'current' borders, and offer 'home land stakes' to their fellow Kurds in southern turkey who wish to be free of the turkish gov.; it might work... but it is likely just a pipe dream.

I think from the start the US leaned too much on Musharraf in Pakistan. While he is holding on, the country has been destabilized by its forced support of US policy in the region which is not at all popular on the ground there. In addition he was forced to fire three or four of his top Generals eroding his support in the military. As they are in a more or less cold war with an aggressive India, if Musharraf was to be killed or forced from power, any new regime would need immediate support to survive, and two regional powers will step in, China which would drive India even more nuts ( they don't get along either ) and Iran with an exchange of Nuclear tech as a likely trade.

In addition the warlords in de facto control of Northern Afghanistan are former KGB and communist party stooges, neighboring states ( Iran, China, Pakistan, several former Russian republics even India ) all have strong reasons to want the US to fail here, and leave. Anarchy at the end of the Soviet occupation was acceptable then, at the end of the American one... why not

And if the US attacks Iran ( really bad )

or India forces a confrontation with Pakistan
( even worse with mushroom clouds going up )

it could get really really bad in a big hurry

i think there are too many competing ideologies right now to form a cohesive 'national' unified government. we cant even do that here! someone during the republican debate quoted Franklin(i think) refferring to Iraq, saying 'weve given you "a republic, if you can keep it". i think a constitutional republic is the only way to go.. with a limited central power, which is there to uphold the constitution and protect state and local rights. let the communities govern themselves.. stop trying to impose international authority on people

ON TV NEWS: WHITE HOUSE CAUGHT ARMING THE ENEMY IN IRAQ, GIVING WEAPONS TO THE SAME TERRORISTS WHO BOMB US SOLDIERS EVERY DAY!

Quote:


U.S. Arming Sunni Insurgents in Iraq

NY Times
June 11, 2007

With the four-month-old increase in American troops showing only modest success in curbing insurgent attacks, American commanders are turning to another strategy that they acknowledge is fraught with risk: arming Sunni Arab groups that have promised to fight militants linked with Al Qaeda who have been their allies in the past.

American commanders say they have successfully tested the strategy in Anbar Province west of Baghdad and have held talks with Sunni groups in at least four areas of central and north-central Iraq where the insurgency has been strong. In some cases, the American commanders say, the Sunni groups are suspected of involvement in past attacks on American troops or of having links to such groups. Some of these groups, they say, have been provided, usually through Iraqi military units allied with the Americans, with arms, ammunition, cash, fuel and supplies.

American officers who have engaged in what they call outreach to the Sunni groups say many of them have had past links to Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia but grew disillusioned with the Islamic militants' extremist tactics, particularly suicide bombings that have killed thousands of Iraqi civilians.

But critics of the strategy, including some American officers, say it could amount to the Americans' arming both sides in a future civil war. The United States has spent more than $15 billion in building up Iraq's army and police force, whose manpower of 350,000 is heavily Shiite. With an American troop drawdown increasingly likely in the next year, and little sign of a political accommodation between Shiite and Sunni politicians in Baghdad, the critics say, there is a risk that any weapons given to Sunni groups will eventually be used against Shiites. There is also the possibility the weapons could be used against the Americans themselves.
