problem
To hope that Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq’s prime minister, could form a coalition government of Sunnis, Shias and Kurds to bring about unity and peace ignores two key factors Firstly the incompetence and cronyism of Mr Maliki and secondly the 1300 years of absolute hatred between the Sunnis and the Shias. There is nothing America can do to change, improve or stop this visceral hate.
solution
Dividing Iraq into three seperate and independent countries is the only hope—the Kurds in the north, the Sunnis in the middle and the Shias in the south. Such a division into three countries will combine the aspirations, beliefs, culture and religion into homogeneous entities and there will no longer be any reason for the unending slaughter that is taking place today.
is this a feasible solution?
