Yeah, it's people with attitudes like this that spit on guys coming back from Vietnam. Thanks for taking us back in time 30+ years! :roll:
Oh goody! Someone else representing a large group! Perhaps "we" should run for political office if "we" have such strong views? Or is it just easier to whine in a forum and do nothing else?? :disgust:
Possibly the only sensible idea I've seen in this thread. Unfortunately, human nature would likely not make this work, as sooner or later one group would think that they deserved to be "more equal" than the other two, or one group would claim that the other two were getting more than their fair share.
It's pretty obvious that having these three groups living together as one is working out just about as well as it did in Yugoslavia. Remember how shocked people were when things fell apart there? Yet they forgot that the only reason Yugoslavia didn't implode earlier than it did was the 40+ years of Soviet dominance there, that forced the people to get along with each other, much the same that 20 years of Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq did the same.
These people will likely learn to live together, though I'm sure there will be some serious birthing pains before the "new Iraq" will be a success. I'm willing to bet that once the Iraqi's take over a stronger role, and we back off, that things will straighten out. It's very likely that it will take a strong ruler, much like Saddam (though without the murderous tendancies), to make it happen.
But that's just my opinion!

You know, it's curious the Turks aren't a little more interested in the idea of a Kurdish nation. Think about it, they've been fighting against Kurdish independance groups for awhile now, and are likely tired of it. Were an autonomous Kurdish state created outside of Turkish lands, wouldn't we see a kind of Kurdish exodus to it like we did when Israel was created? A start up state like that would probably never be able threaten a country like Turkey, and might even provide a beneficial buffer zone to all the crap blossoming just down the road.
I realize that might not work for Kurds who think they are entitled to lands within Turkey, I guess I'm just thinking out loud...

But there is no civil war or uncivil civilian war. There are insurgents trying to prevent Iraq from succeeding as a democracy. More troops are coming to stabilize the situation.
I know.. you have no Ideo what to call it.. but the US are calling up the reserves to march into Baghdad to induce peace. 
u know most of pop whines about israels occupation...buncha hipocrits. so there is precedence for such a thing.
