It almost make you yearn for the good ole' days of Saddam Hussein. He was the only one who could control the region...and that's exactly what it takes: a brutal dictator. That's the only thing that can hold it together.
I agree. And the U.S. needs to stay out of this with a few humanitarian exceptions. Essentially, this is a war between Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish factions. Any government installed by the U.S. won't bring peace. These factions fight over ideology and religion.

The Kurds are good fighters and are well organized. Its a shame that they've had to deal with that jackass Maliki. I say arm them to the teeth and provide air cover so they can get the job done. They've already taken back two cities.

And then Americans will be instructed to hate another group of suicidal sub-humans who just happen to be sitting on resources coveted by those with power.
It truly is disgusting and I wonder if this country will ever call them on it.
I suspect we won't. It certainly doesn't look good if the poliboard is any indication.
