independence option. how realistic is this idea that the u.s. can wait for the kurds, the sunnis and the shiites all come together, equally inclusive and have a government that represents them all? i think it s an essential solution. i think it s one of only ways to remove some of the moderate support isis has right now. having a government in which they feel included and represented it really essential. so many feel disenfranchised and so up set with the maliki government and they have gone on the side of isis. that s a major problem. undermight mining that support is a really essential way to undermine isis, which is important to really realistically challenge sort of having an independent city-state in the area. but is it doable?
