#1 Lordy, here we go again... The classic Arab blame game - anybody but themselves will do.

The problems in Iraq, AFAICS, are:

1) The Shia have squandered their opportunity to rise above asinine sectarian stupidity. Holding the majority and government power, they're stuck in payback mode - and mere toadies for...

2) Iran sees Iraq as an easy regime to subvert and convert into yet another asshat proxy. They've succeeded too, methinks - the Iraqi "government" is a tool - little different from the Lebs. This situation will continue until the Iranian regime is capped.

3) The Sunnis, in a nostalgic return-to-power bid to commit mass suicide, have embraced the snakes, foreign and domestic, and now, in the purrfekt Muzzy mold, don't like the results of their mindless choice. They are living proof, in that speshul Arab way, that it sucks to be terminally stupid.

4) Iraq's Sunni neighbors have used it to relieve themselves of their crops of idiots and troublemakers, a pressure valve using the imams and tuning the Friday message over time, and hoping against reality they'd succeed in restoring some Sunni power.

Were it not for the Kurds, bless 'em, I could easily post something that would some think I've swilled the DhimmiDonk Kool Aid. I didn't, but DAMN! it would be so easy and convenient to do. And that is a subtle but important fundafuckingmental difference, IMO, between the Dhimmis and and those who want us to succeed in the WoT... far too subtle for some, I fear.

#2 How about:
1. Put a high fence around the Arab Triangle and Basra province to keep them in and anyone else out.
2. Use the US military and the Kurds to police the wire. (2a. eliminate any Iranian or Syrian interference with extreme prejidice.)
3. Ship in all the small arms they can take.
4. Let them play until they're tired.

Two possible results:
The Muzzies learn that it isn't worth it, or -
No more Muzzies (like the Two Cats from Kilkenny.)
