Same as it ever was

Now that we're out of their way, the Muslims have happily gone back to killing each other. This could have been Shiites killing Sunnis or even two sub-factions of Sunnis in a pissing match. Doesn't matter; the more the merrier. The best way for us to handle this problem is to sell guns to both sides.

What's that you say? It will destabilize the region? Horsefeathers. The region is full of Arabs; chaos is its natural condition. The only time any area full of Arabs has been stable for any length of time is when they've been ruled by governors of imperial powers: Persian, British, etc. Otherwise they're too busy trying to steal each others camels and fuck each others wives (or is that the other way around? I forget) to accomplish anything lasting.

We need to stop fretting over Iraq, which will never ever be a democracy or a republic or anything like those forms of self-determined government. Instead, we should redouble our efforts to drill here and drill now. If the Chinese and Europeans want to buy oil from the Iraqis, let them "stabilize the region." We've no compelling interest that will justify pouring more American blood into that eternally thirsty sand.
