It's fine to have sympathy for President Obama in Iraq

3. People don't want to face the truth

Iraq was an artificial construct. They only way it was held together over the past century was with brutal dictators. We do not have the desire to be that dictator's replacement, nor can we just appoint one and still insist that they 'act nice' and 'foster democracy'.

Iraq will have to go through a civil war, and eventually when all sides are tired of killing each other, or have formed defensible borders, then the place might have peace. In my opinion. It might help to lean on our 'friends', the oil states, to stop throwing gas on the fire.

All we are doing is delaying the inevitable.
