The problem is of course that there IS no single Iraq.
There is only one solution and that is let the sods fighhht it out for themselves but the problem is that as the coalition go out the front door the Iranians and the Syrians would come in through the back.
I’m increasingly seeing parallels with the Vietnam era here. Not the US going to get a blo*odied nose (though it is doing at present) but the REAL war being the war against an ideology being fought in other peoples countries. In the past the ideology was communism. This time it’s Islam.
For my part I would much rather deal with communism as even if the communists did win eventually it would peter out and capitalism would creep back in, it’s human nature.
Not so with islam. If THAT ideology gets the upper hand then the world is in very serious trouble indeed.
