According to EVERYONE Iraqi civil war is inevitable !!!

OK, I had an epiphany the other day. Many pundits list civil war as the biggest risk of a "cut and run" strategy. But lets think about it for a moment.

Both candidates favor staged withdrawals in which Iraqi military forces are put in charge of putting down the "insurgents". Isn't THAT CIVIL WAR between Iraqis???? Both sides ideally want a CIVIL WAR instead of an imperial style war!!!!

What we are really worried about is the fragmentation of Iraq. And in that case, aren't those people entitled to control their own destinies instead of abiding by the arbitrary lines drawn by the British Imperial Crown and British Petroleum????

Who are we to STOP a civil war if the people of Iraq truly desire it. Sure, they desire to have their way without fighting. But how realistic is this when their is no true authority in Iraq??? Authority is NOT annointed. It is bought in blood. And Iraq (or it's constituent parts) will have NEVER earned ANY status until it's paid it's toll in blood!!!!

If civil war is the result of not fighting, I say let it happen. We cannot stop it. All we will do is temporarily turn attention AWAY from bitter historical enemies and turn it ONTO US!!!!
