They got away Scott free after stabbing us in the back at the beginning of the Gulf War with the last minute denial of access for our troops.
I said at the time, and still maintain that, we should have obliterated Iraq, divided the country along ethnic lines, and rewarded Turkey’s treachery with an newly minted Kurdistan on its border.
Just thought of another effect that would have had... The ME is made up of countries where warring tribes were arbitrarily crammed together, anyone who allows the tribes to have self rule would be welcomed by any ethnic group who viewed them as a path to freedom.
Perhaps Putin will fracture Syria along ethnic lines?
Same here in regards to Iraq. Iraq even during the time of Papa Bush was pretty much on its way out, since it was an artifical created country. If it was you have posted been divided up, according to Kurdish, Christian, Sunni, and Shia, there would be no ISIS.
