Maybe the coalition forces should pull out and be replaced by UN forces; the majority of which should be arab speaking. Iraq splits into 3 separate countries, Shia, Sunni and Kurd. Billions of dollars of 'aid' do not go unaccounted for; major contracts are tendered with LOCAL companies able to gain contracts (Halliburton should be excluded from these tenders - as well as any other company with links to Bush and his cronies). The USA does not build 14 permanent bases and use Iran as a Middle East base for further incursions. Just some 'ideas'...Wham wrote:Cardzeus - what do you suggest? Will there be MORE or LESS bloodshed of innocent Iraqis if all the coalition forces pull out right now? I honestly don't profess to have an opinion either way, just wondering what others think would be the best solution at this point in time.
Why should it amaze you? Western Countries have always come to the aid of anybody who is in distress. Even our detractors (wanted to say enemies but maybe that's too strong). It's always been said that life is considered cheap in Asia (disclaimer! I didn't say it) while the west values all life. (we won't talk about the death penalty here okay!)ringo100 wrote:It would be totally impossible for UN forces, let alone UN Arab forces to police Iraq. They are neither capable or would they be willing. The different Muslim factions seem to hate each other more than they hate the Americans.
It still amazes me that the biggest donators of money to Palestine and other desperate Muslim causes i.e. tsunami etc. are western countries.

It was ironic that Palestinians were cheering after 9/11 and burning western flags in the street, yet the food they eat and even their whole existence is due to the financial support of the US and the EU.
This will never happen because it leaves all the oil to the Sunnis and basically leaves the Shites with desert. Further, if the Jurds acheived autonomy it would seriously destabilize Turkey where the Kurd "problem" has existed for decades. So nobody is going to support this one.CardZeus wrote:Iraq splits into 3 separate countries, Shia, Sunni and Kurd.
