PARTITION

The horrific dilemma of staying or leaving Iraq is that either solution gets us carnage. The ultimate solution to this dilemma may be already playing itself out by the people themselves.

The solution is a three way partition.

One region for Kurds, another for Sunnis and a third for Shiites.
