Do you think Iraq should be separated into two separate countries?

Question

They're having such trouble with violence that it seems fairly logical.

Answer 1

I don't believe that two separate countries is the best solution, especially considering that there are 3 major groups within Iraq that need to be taken into consideration (the Sunni's, Shiite's and the Kurds). A three state (as opposed to three country) solution might be workable but it would involve either going to war with Turkey or somehow managing to get Turkey to peacefully co-exist with a Kurdish state on its border; a serious issue considering their severe repression of their own Kurdish minority. If Iran and Syria are brought into the fold and are allowed to help quell the violence then that would be a beneficial way to start, but the problem is that it is more than likely that one or both will want something in return for their participation and assistance in helping secure Iraq.
A three state solution also has other issues, relocation of Shiite's and Sunni's into their newly formed states would be a difficult task, as would the working of the govt. Oil and division of oil profits btw the three states would also have to be worked out.
But even with all the issues that must be worked thru, a three state solution with the participation of surrounding nations is the quickest and most viable in the long term. Even if there is a need for a UN presence in the country for a period.

Answer 2

that's no longer that straight forward. you've Kurds, Shia And Sunni factions, and them some First, who is going to pick the position each and every section is going, you've mixed communities. India/Pakistan became a mess, and they nevertheless strive against over the hill areas. The Un, they divided up Palestine, so contained in the Arab international, the UN is purely an extension of united statesa., and after 60 years human beings funded mayhem in Israel, i does no longer believe the UN to divide up a birthday cake, now to not indicate a usa, so that you would possibly want to locate yet another independent usa keen to take on the interest? The Shia do no longer believe a Sunni usa to do the interest, and Vice Versa, and the Buddhist international worry Communist interference, or Russian interference, so i wager your idea is a no-bypass idea? the united kingdom might want to by no ability have entered a conflict with out a get out plan, and admittedly Bush might want to no longer plan a visit to the lavatory, so i wager we are both crammed!

Answer 3

I think you mean 3 separate countries: one Shiite, one Sunni and one Kurd? And it certainly couldn't be any worse than what's happening right now. But in the end there's going to be a major war between the Iraqi Sunnis and the Iraqi Shiites/Kurds no matter what happens and there's nothing anyone can do to stop that. US troops are only holding up the inevitable.

Answer 4

Maybe 3 instead of 2. Just share some of the oil revenue.

Answer 5

Sorry it would have to be three countries. There are three separate factions that hate each other. Shiites, Sunnis, & the Kurds.

Answer 6

I think we should have left it alone from the start...now we will watch as Iraq self destructs..and the whole corporate lie that was the justification for war blow up in Americas corporate face.

Answer 7

I dont think it is possible, because then you would have one portion controlling all of the economic resources of the nation and the other suffering in abject poverty.

Answer 8

BORDERS DON'T STOP BULLETS
