Why the hell is this an accusation? Seems like rational action to me. (Some flippancy but not a whole lot.) It's what they're moving toward on their own, and it's what should have been done in the late 19th/early 20th century. But since Britain and France interfered, it's going to be a messier process if it ever happens. But I've long been an advocate of as far as possible ignoring the region for 50 years and then revisiting it to see what's changed.Mr. Askeri accused the Obama administration of being interested only in “protecting the Kurdish regional government and Christians, not the rest of Iraq.”
is the best course to allow the people who live there to draw their own borders along sectarian lines, or will that just destabilize the region even more?
