In a perfect world but I am afraid not J Russell... There was a time when I believed that they could.
It appears to me that the Kurds are the only hope that country has to becoming a democratic Iraq. I don't see it happening though.
The Sunni's and the Shiites value power over unity. It really is rather sad.
The citizens of Iraq have (it is slipping by though) a golden opportunity right now to becoming one of the most powerful and economically independent countries in the Middle East, free to choose and guide their own destiny and they are ALLOWING Hussein loyalists along with outside factions to come into Iraq and destroy any future hope for peace and tranquility in their country.

No, one option at the beginning was to form three countries. That is the best option. The problem lies in the fact that these groups cross borders. If the Kurds in Iraq get a country, the Kurds in Turkey will want to join them. Turkey is opposed to this. It is not simple. Sometimes a dictator is all that holds different groups together. Look what happened in Yugoslavia after tito died. That area is still troubled. People want to pay back for centeries old wrongs. Look at the Native People here. They want there land back. Look at Africa or Isreal. The Palistnians were displaced by the Jews. Africans are still trying to rebujld cultures after centeries of colonialism and slavery. There are no simple answers, except to stay out of other countries. Bush didn't go after North Korea, which does havw WMDs. He chose Iraq for the oil. It was not as easy as he thought. If we really wanted to stop terrorism, we shold stopbuying gas. That is the source of their funds!!!

The Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnies never needed the help of this "administration". Trying to prematurely force democracy is the most oxymoronic action any country could do.

I think Iraq is in the midst of a civil war and there is very little this administration (or any) can do about it. If the Democrats take the House of Representatives in the November elections, we will have hearings that will show we had bad intelligence and should not have gone to war there in the first place.

Partition is a logical thank you to confirm the ethinic conflict in Iraq, although, it might contain a great deal of 'injustice' itself, as peoples are formally compelled out of thier residences or off thier land and into whichever reservation thier faith or ethnicity consigns them too. needless to say, it truly is being executed by using homicide and intimidation, now, basically with much less needless to say-defined boundries. it would be less demanding on the Kurds, because of the fact the north isn't as heavily integrated, outdoors Kirkuk, as are different factors of the rustic. inspite of the undeniable fact that, something corresponding to an self sustaining Kurdistan is going to reason worry for Turkey and Iran, who've thier very own Kurdish minorities with targets of sepratism.

Chances are that NO administration can bring these people together anytime soon. They all hate and fear each other. We at least got Saddam out of Kuwait and kept him out of Saudi Arabia, also captured him and killed or captured nearly all of the original "deck of cards" (Saddam and 51 of his lieutenants). Even so, we will probably see civil war in Iraq.

No. Most of them have hated each other for millennia. The British forced them all together when they took over the area in early 20th century. Now it is coming apart again due to hatred surfacing.

Isn't that depressing? No. I can't imagine that this administration can do that because they can't think outside the box. It's all about their rhetoric about creating a free Iraq, but what exactly is that?

NO... the wounds cut too deeply... the only thing left is the current civil war that Bush says isn't happening.
