Benjamin solution

Reader comment on item: James Baker's Terrible Iraq Report
in response to reader comment: Only solution to this crisis

Submitted by Syed Kasim (Canada), Dec 17, 2006 at 22:46

Just for the following two to be done (but not yet done)

- Split up Iraq into three independent countries
- Seize and control all of Iraqs fields

the price tag so far is

500 billion (direct cost only) and 2800 American lives .. anyway you don't care about the muslim lives. You think all muslims are al qaedans. Indirect cost so far is 2000 billion.

US will become the developing country very soon if it tries to do all the things you guys want.

Anyway all the problems in the middle east, in general muslim world are the shiites left out after the European colonialism. And you guys want more shiites in the muslim world.
