"Is there going to be peace? Is there going to the end of any violence? Of course not. This violence is going to go on for a long time," Mr Hadley said.

1. Yes until another dictator takes control of Iraq....

or the country is split into three different regions..those are the choices.....

3. I don't see another dictator taking control of

Iraq as it currently is configured. Partition is realistically the only answer, but it would really involve some other changes, as I think a liberated Kurdistan would in reality encompass Kurds in Turkey--that will not go over with the Turks--and in Iran. Similarly, the Iraqi Shi'a would most likely link up with Shi'a in Iran. So we are a long way from home.

4. You are right it will take a long time and a lot more lives lost

and the * cabal is responsible....they never for a moment considered what would happen if their experiment of exporting Democracy failed....they will face judges in America or at the Hague it doesn't matter to me.....

2. Thanks for this...but I guess...

Hadley wasn't telling us anything we didn't already know!:eyes:

The only way there'll be any possible chance for peace for Iraq anytime during the next decade is if it is partitioned.
