IRAQI SPLIT
IRAQI SPLIT: UPI reports that the current post-war plans call for Iraq to be split into three sectors, presumably corresponding to the Shi’a, Sunni, and Kurd regions. While this makes a lot of sense to me, given that the factions will be difficult to manage without a repressive dictator in charge, it seems contrary to the previously announced intention that post-war Iraq would remain intact. It may be that the hope is to turn Iraq into a federal system, which also has merit.
