The Iraqi Shias have proven incapable of governing. Their military skills are limited to mosque massacres. Armed opposition is beyond their pay grade. Iraqi Sunnis are better fighters, but have a troubling tendency to fight for the wrong side. ISIS is the Sunni side of the street.
Kurd is the word. As many as 50 million stateless Kurds inhabit the Middle East and parts of Europe. The desire for statehood, which subsumes their own religious differences, has caused problems for Turkey, our NATO ally.
Kurds are politically cohesive and fearless fighters. Remove all aid and assistance from the current corrupt regime, and focus are largesse on the Kurds. Recognize Iraq as a Kurdish State, in return for a Kurdish commitment to tolerance of the non Kurdish population. Kurds will flock from throughout the Middle East to defend their homeland. Turkey's woes will wilt.
Iraqi Sunnis and Shias have been a pain in the American ass. Time to Kurdle their noodle.
