Iraq heading toward breakup

[audigger]

December 23, 2011

In a series of coordinated explosions, more 67 people were killed in Baghdad and another 200 critically injured just in a single day, today, according to statistics published by various Iraqi media outlets.

The US troop’s withdrawal has barely ended. A renewed sectarian war is on the horizon; One that the US will no longer be able to resort to its military muscles to enforce peace or use its wisdom to mediate among the warring political and religious Iraqi factions.

Both Allawi and Al-Maliki have exchanged harsh rhetorics, and pinned the blame on one another for the recent escalating tensions. Alawi called for international efforts to circumvent the Shi'ite premier from triggering renewed sectarian warfare of the kind that killed tens of thousands in the years after Saddam was ousted in 2003. In retaliation, Al-Maliki has warned Sunnis could be ostracized from power in Iraq.

Many observers are predicting the onset of a fresh bloodier Shiite-Sunni Civil war in Iraq. Some argue even that it could even lead to a wider sectarian war engulfing the entire regional Muslim countries.

Iraq was ruled for almost 8 decades by minority Sunnis till 2003. Both Kurds and the oppressed Shiites Arabs were subdued by Sunni Arabs throughout the history. Now that the Shiites,www.ekurd.net constituting almost 65% of population, hold the upper hand, the once-dominating Sunnis believing that they will face marginalization and subjugation, are turning to violence as their last viable alternative to resist.

Grasping the substance of this historic opportunity, Iraqi Shiites are seizing the prospect to build a stable Shiite dominated Islamic nation in Iraq, particularly one that is reinforced by the presence of vast oil in its southern Basra district, with the help of neighboring Iran.

The Shiites have dominated Iraqi Army, and the Sunni have engaged in insurgency since 2003. Both sects are perilously armed and seconded by certain foreign countries, seeking their peculiar interests. Shiite-Sunnis animosity has lingered for almost 1400 years and will continue so.

9 protracted years of unrewardingly striving to coerce a group of distinct people with no similarities in common to coexist has finally proven to be the wrong strategy from the very inception.

Iraq is heading toward absolute disintegration. Neither the American philanthropist intervention nor the peace efforts of certain states can contain the situation from further exasperating.

One million Iraqi have been killed so far. One million human lives! In order to salvage more lives from being futilely wasted, it is in the common interest of all relevant parties to peacefully implement the popular blueprint of fragmenting Iraq into three mini-states.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

Deep, dark depression. Excessive misery.

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

The bombings yesterday in Baghdad were the work of former Baathists.

And breaking up is hard to do.

We sure did have a civil war and how did the Confederate money do after the war?

Worthless. People used it to start fires and for toilet paper.

People in the south lost everything , life savings gone forever.

If anyone wants to bail, I'm sure there would be takers here if anyone wants to panic on out. My point is one buyer , one seller...we got ourselves a market.

Ever read about the Reconstruction Period post-Civil War? I heard some interesting things happened.

Granted the US Civil War was about 150 years ago, but it's whatever.
