Answer 1

From a practical viewpoint there is no Iraq. Iraq is a line drawn on a map by European colonial powers encompassing Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish peoples, but in no way turning them into a single nation. Czechoslovakia was the same, and when the Soviet Union's army withdrew they went back to being two countries, just as East and West Germany went back to being one country. Our foreign policy towards Iraq is founded on the principle that because of that line on the map cultural tensions going back centuries do not exist, and that everyone inside the line will consider themselves one people. Since this principle is manifestly absurd, it follows that the policy is equally absurd. There has been no case in recent History where an Arab country has achieved Democracy unless they had no oil, all others have ended up Theocracies, one of the reasons for our occupation is a long shot hope that we can prevent that in "Iraq", and, so far, we are not succeeding.
