I guess this sort of thing is why I don't really buy the idea that the US is OK with dividing Iraq into three countries or even planned for that to happen. The northern part of Iraq would be a Kurdish republic. Yeah, that destabalizes Iran, which the US is all for, but it also creates instability in the oil-rich north and, as this article points out, within the borders of our good friend Turkey. Yep, folks, its just hubris and incompetence.
Exactly. A divided Iraq means instability not only in the north, but in the middle and south as well -- Any proto-Sunni state drawn up along geographical lines would be in constant conflict with both of its neighbors with the region's oil reserves. Just pure fucking hubris.
