OT - The way out of Iraq -

Since it's a slow day, here's a potential solution to our Iraq problem that's being bandied about - 1) Divide Iraq into 3 separate areas (Shiite, Sunni, Kurds), each to be governed autonomously, then - 2) the US declares victory and leaves. Of course the region will inevitably descend into civil war, but the US will have a) successfully extricated itself, avoiding the 5-10 additional years we're going to be stuck there otherwise, b) saved face (sort of) by avoiding a pure cut/run, and c) we won't have to worry about Iraq becoming a nuclear power for many years, which was the point of the whole excercise in the first place. This seems like a cynical solution until one considers that there's going to be a civil war once we leave anyway, even if we stay for 10 more years.

Then we can get on with the next task at hand - bombing the hell out of the Iranian nuclear sites. Ah, the joys of being the global policeman...
