Soft Partitioning of Iraq

Ridiculous, how do we propose to move the Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds all into their own seperate areas, and why? It's their way of life, for thousands of years they have been conflicting over beliefs and holy territorial ground.

Seems strangely reminiscent of the beginnings of Pakistan. It may all end out well; we just need to wait a few hundred years.

From my understanding that is pretty much the reality on the ground after 5 years of inter-tribal warfare. It's one of the main reasons why we're seeing a drop off of violence (yet it's still at a very very high level) all the ethnic killings/cleansing has been accomplished.
