#2 We should just divide the country into thirds. The unified Iraq helps the ungrateful Shia because they will be the majority and can dominate the nation, and it helps the problem-child Sunni's who still back Saddam and otherwise have no oil of their own. It benefits the treacherous Turks who did not help as agreed and who have sent troops in to cause trouble. It helps Iran and Syria both of whom are covertly helping the bad guys and have Kurdish minorities. And it scares Saudi Arabia who has a shia minority living atop their oil fields.

And it benefits the Kurds who have been our ally for a decade and whom the US betrayed in the past.

It's too obvious.

#3 "...This is an aggression on the sacred Muslim places."

Something tells me that there's a porta potty someplace over there that these assholes consider a "sacred Muslim place". Fuck them.
