Two weeks ago some of you guys were speculating that it looked like we were heading for a religous war between Christians and Muslims.
That would have meant that sunnis and shiites across the Arab World would have to form an alliance to defeat the Christian nations of the world and Israel. Hindsight has proven that analysis a tad off the mark.
We gave them a chance at self determination and they have chosen sectarian civil war. Recent history has shown that third world civil wars run about 10 years - that's 10 more years.
I don't think we will leave Iraq until after Bush is done with his second term. But the next President, irrespective of party, will not get elected unless he or she runs on a platform that details a relatively quick exit strategy from Iraq.
