Iraq's last Chance

Iraq is too broken to be turned around so that Mr. Khedery's assessment of "ultimately no" is correct. Given this conclusion, we have no choice but to salvage what is good in the region and support the Kurdish quest for an independent state. They are the only people with a cohesive ideal and leadership that properly distributes economic and military aid for maximum benefit. Baghdad on the other hand is in an unfortunate and poisonous state where everyone is looking out for their own. Outside assistance to such a state is counter productive. We have to leave the rest of Iraq alone.
