Well....I Will Be Dipped In Shit!

Apparently we CAN spread American-style democracy to the Middle East.

At the root of the standoff is the unresolved power struggle between Iraq's three main groups - the majority Shiites and minority Sunnis and Kurds - following the ouster of Saddam Hussein in the U.S.-led invasion of 2003.

Elections in March 2010 were inconclusive. Al-Maliki was able to form a national unity government but its component parties do not trust and in some cases detest each other.

Well done, Mr. Bush.

The allied forces need to withdraw from Iraq now and allow the Iraqi's to fend for themselves. The worst that will happen will be an Iranian allied Shia State in Iraq (expect for the Kurdish areas) and the expulsion of the Sunnis from Iraq.

While it would seriously annoy the Turks, an independent Kurdish state would the good thing that would come of out it.
