hey its a new one Bilge.
NYT, are we about to open an arab yugoslavia?

I like "congenitally divided", a pretty good turn of phrase about the ethnic division existing in the country.

Not of course suggesting that the NYT loved saddam , after all they follow with.
"Does that mean we should rule out war? No. But it does mean that we must do it right. To begin with, the president must level with the American people that we may indeed be buying the Arab Yugoslavia".

You can if you want, do you want the date?

Though I think you realise that not only is there no shortage of articles warning of the obvious, but that politicians and the military all warned about the obvious too.

If you want to discuss Syria, fine.

If you want to keep discussing Iraq, I stand by my point that no one predicted a Shia-Sunni civil war before the event. Unless you can show otherwise, let's just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

On Syria, I think it should be obvious to everyone that the U.S. will never, ever intervene in the present conflict. UK and France, if they are so hot, can do it on their own. The most you may get is limited air support as in Libya or Mali.
