Why are we making a counrty full of people who hate each other try to be together?? They aren't like us, and shouldn't be made to act like us... that's not what freedom is... freedom's the ability to feel love for everyone and we will never get there with guns and bombs... that is what I am trying to point out... I don't care what war it is... war isn't the answer
There is actually two reasons for Iraq not to be separated:

First is the Kurds. Iran, Syria, and Turkey made it very clear at the beginning of the liberation that they WOULD NOT condone an independent Kurdistan nation. Long history on that one I guess!

Second, the Sunni wouldn't stand for it because all of the oil wealth is actually in the territories that are Kurdish and Shi-ite. They would basically be out of the oil money loop.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
