^ I don't factor in the Kurds because they are semi-autonomous.

The Kurds have their own paramilitary, own organizations, speak a different language (Kurdish), don't like Arabs, and don't like people speaking Arabic in their northern area. They are ethnically different. The economy is actually going pretty good in "Kurdistan."

As for the world population being 85%. OK, 85, then.

Iraq is the issue.

It's about the superior numbers.

And the police and government control by Shiites.

(Remember that Al-Maliki's government hung Hussein on the "Id" Sunni holiday.)

A major slap in the face.

I say we pull out and blow a huge wad all over the belly of Iraq.....




oh wait we already blew several huge wads all over and still feel no relief....

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.WB Yeats
