Reply #11: kurds should split away

[msedano]

and form their own nation, being so far out of step with iraqi public opinion.

logic is compelling: full and forthwith abandonment of the "mission" in iraq is the only way to stop the daily killiing of unitedstates military women and men, and the collateral killings of iraqis for being on the wrong side of some asshole's bomb. that a few polls have the public clamoring for our exit is icing on the cake.

when unitedstates forces empty the streets, locals will take back the streets block by block. or cops will hold onto their authority. or turkey will sweep in and swallow up first the kurds, then, inevitably, the rest of iraq, where iran and syria would negotiate with the turks for, if not peace, control.

no matter what, in the next few years, a lot of iraqis are going to kill each other. and the blood will be completely on "our" hands.
