If partitioning does take place, I believe there should be NO western influence, otherwise we make the same mistake Britain made with the different mandates after WWI, and we see how well those turned out.
I agree. Partitioning Iraq may be what is best for security in the region, but I cannot be sure. I do not live there. The people who do live there have given the whole idea a collective and bi-partisan, ginormous middle finger, and that's enough for me.

...the only option is leave them alone and kill each other until a local haegemonic power forces peace down their throats... and be sure you're a friend to that power... What you are describing is the situation when the Baath Party took control after eight coups in six years. |

Huxley,
Bush doesn't want to partition the country either, so this was not the plan "since the beginning".
Where's Patton? I know he's a pretty big fan of this.
I used to be... but I realized that if the Iraqis don't like/want it, then it's doomed to fail. It relies on them, so implementing it on a group of people who will undoubtedly subvert it just seems like a dumb idea.
Abraxas, I do not see how that proves anything. As I said the parition has been the plan of the CFR all along, can you discredit that? I don't give a flying you know what about what Bush thinks, he doesn't matter anymore, he's just a lame duck puppet trying to salvage some bit of phony legacy. |

I don't give a flying you know what about what Bush thinks, he doesn't matter anymore, he's just a lame duck puppet trying to salvage some bit of phony legacy. Yeah, I forgot. The country is run by private enterprises. Silly me. I must have been crazy to forget such an obvious fact.  |
