Ford on 3 Iraqs

VV notes Harold Ford, Jr.:

… believes the U.S. should consider dividing Iraq into three separate states by its sectarian divisions: the Kurdish population to the north, and splitting Shiite and Sunni Muslims to the south.

I don’t disagree.

    That would really stick it to the Turks, which wouldn’t bother me in the least.

  2. Standard Mischief Says:

    Reminds me of the British Empire dividing things up into Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, etc. Reviewing history, it seems that it might help solve some short term problems, but the long term problems tend to be a bitch.

    Still, I’m not saying it’s the wrong solution in this case.

    They should split and refederate… something not unlike what we have, if you consider a state as an independent government.

  4. Reason Says:

    Ditto on the India, Pakistan, et al comment. Then you’d just have three countries fighting in border disputes for the rest of eternity instead of three factions fighting inside one border.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
