More Iraq
I see Rags is once again on his soapbox. This time it concerns Iraqi president Talabani’s reaction to the Baker report.
The whole problem as I see it, is a complete breakdown of any semblance of civilization. Our wonderfully observant leaders warn that “civil war” may break out over there, instead of the “sectarian violence” we have now.
The cops and the military and assorted armed militias are killing the population based on religion, the Shias are killing the Sunnis and visa versa, people are getting killed every day based on what mosque the go to. So what is the difference between a “civil war” and “sectarian violence?”
People have chosen sides and are killing each other based on which side they belong to, what do they have to do, move the fight to Gettysburg, and put on blue and grey uniforms, before anyone will admit that this is for all intents and purposes a civil war.
My solution is to arm them all, go home and deal with the survivors, the Democrats and the Republicans, I mean, not the Iraqis.
