BIDEN for president;

Forces out of Iraq;

Well the race for the presidency is on, and I have to hand it to Biden for having an Idea, a Direction, and an Opinion. Unfortunately it’s a horrible Idea, disastrous Direction, and a tired old Opinion. It is different than his party’s line, and to his credit not poll tested.

But, splitting up Iraq has same result as if the US forces had entered Iraq with the intent to destroying everything and then leave immediately when the Iraqi army and government there had fully toppled; civil war would have ensued and the three sects (Sunni, Shi'a, and Curd) would each go to their own corners and fight the battle of determining borders. The Shi'a portion of the country then left to fall directly into Iran’s sphere of influence.

The current Administration thought about this possibly and that why we are locked into a nation building effort. The net result of Biden’s plan would be disastrous for America.

The Biden solution doesn’t leave the nation better than we found it. People left divided and fighting each other in our wake (read killing each other, Darfur comes to mind). The nation of Iraq was whole when we arrived. It may actually have been better to have left Saddam in power than engage in Biden's chop it up initiative.

The Biden solution doesn’t resolve terror state issues that we went there in the first place to address. The Sunni and Shi'a regions would likely become confirmed terror states almost at the start of any such plan. Or worse, one or both of these thirds could become lawless and a good home for Al-Qeada to restart training programs.

The Biden solution doesn’t unify the people Iraq but encourages segregation, class war, and racism. These systems don’t work, in most of the world you can actively identify on-going wars that have lasted hundreds of years for the same tired story, he doesn’t look like me, he doesn’t worship like me, and he has more than me. This is inhumane, and we should try not to create these conditions when we can (see the Imperial English for some good examples).

America is the right idea, “a melting pot”, a group of different peoples and cultures coming together under one flag, one language, to act as one for the common interest of freedom. Let’s not let Biden trap them in a Separatist system we know will fail. No one likes the fact that our government and military are still there in Iraq, but since we are there then lets take our time and effort to improve their situation, lets at least try to give them the idea that we know works; FREEDOM.
