One for the Shiites, one for the Sunnis, and one for the Kurds.

interesting idea but their are already territory disputes happening between the groups because of where the oil is located. i think it makes more sense to get people to work out their differences without resorting to violence

One of each would be good.

Are you kidding?  Factions WITHIN each of those religions contradict each other you can't expect separate religions to agree on anything!

Please......everyone is in denial that there is a civil war going on in Iraq.  Sunnis and Shiites killing and getting killed.  US troops are dying just because they are there.  The Kurds are just smart enough to stay away from civil war because when the Sunnis and Shiites annihilate each other, then the Kurds will have it all.

Partition Iraq into three new countries;  The Kurds in the North, the Sunnis in the Middle, and the Shites in the South.  Give each ethnic group their own country and government.\n\nIraq when it was founded was not really a country at all.  The British Colonial rulers made it into one.  They put three groups of people who can't stand each other and called it Iraq.\n\nWhy not??  It worked for Yugoslavia and Bosnia.  Why couldn't it work for Iraq.

there are over a billion muslims between the three sects of sunni, shiite and fundementalist taliban, so it'll take a few days.

The Kurds are Muslims.  Why would you want to sing this song to them?  Are you trying to convert them?  Forget it------they are just fine where they are.

While I generally agree with you that Sunnis and Shias don't have a problem with each other, there are a few people on both sides who just want to see a civil war in Iraq. Their claims are not justified and the majority of Iraqis don't agree with their position.\n\nHowever, I will say this: much of what we see in the news in the United States is either a lie, or dressed up so well that it obfuscates the truth until we don't know what is happening for real. The media is BROKEN. One side (Fox News) dress everything up to appeal to conservatives, and the other side (MSNBC, CNN) just seem to ignore the facts. The average American has no clue what is really happening in Iraq. We're not even allowed to see the caskets as they return.\n\nI pride myself in being aware of what is really happening in Iraq. I know that even within the same family it's possible to  have Sunnis and Shias. The truth is that the US government wants to us to believe that Iraq is full of terrorist thugs that only want to do us harm. The job of Bush's administration is to drive home the message that Iraq is a lost cause and nothing we could ever do would make a difference... therefore, the war was lost before it began... and it's all the Iraqi people's fault.\n\nWhen I have to watch shows like "The Daily Show" (a humorous 'fake news show') and "Real Time with Bill Maher" to get the real news, then there is something seriously wrong. Only last night, the Daily Show pointed out that Rumsfeld had lied only this week regarding statements he made in 2003 about his knowledge of the whereabouts of WMDs. Where was that reported in the 'real' news media? That's right, it wasn't. That is simply pathetic.\n\nWell, there are a number of ironies:\n\n1. Iraq was rather peaceful until we went goose-stepping across their country, killing innocent people and just generally doing harm.\n\n2. To this day, there is not one single American who knows what we are doing in Iraq. Iraq was a dictatorship for such a long time; why the push for democracy now? Why aren't we democratizing the rest of the world too? Americans and Iraqis are dying every day for no good reason. The only reason not to pull out is because it would cement the message that we had no business being there in the first place.\n\n3. In March 2003 there were almost no al Qaeda members in Iraq. Those that were there, were just passing through, or were there temporarily. We know that Saddam Hussein had no patience for these people. Now... Iraq is teeming with al Qaeda members. Iraqis are joining up left and right, and al Qaeda are coming from all over the middle east to assist in driving out the US. In fact, al Qaeda membership has gone through the roof, so ultimately...\n\n4. The whole 'we are no longer safe in the US' attitude has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. What was originally a few disingenuous people far away has become a virtual horde of folks who want to dismember Americans by the truckload.\n\nUltimately, I think of it like this...\n\nI imagine myself living in a fairly modernised nation, with running water and electricity, a job, a family and a house that I've worked hard for. I'm proud of my accomplishments. Life is okay. I have little to grumble about, until...\n\nOne day, the Americans arrive with their bombers and their tanks. Whole streets go up in smoke and there are suddenly dead bodies everywhere. My family is torn apart, half of them dead or injured beyond recognition. My life is completely unrecognizable to me. I have lost everything. War is the state that we are in and there is no end in sight. Would I be angry? Would I wonder what I had done to bring this on myself and the people that I care for? You bet I would.\n\nAs a 'westerner' I don't see muslims as two different groups. I believe that most of us in the west actually know next to nothing regarding Islam. It's not like anybody i

the sitation in Iraq is understandable and it has nothing to do with "religion" \n\nregardless of the (minor) religious difference Sunnis and Shiites lived together in peace for centuries.\nit wasn't until the invasion of Iraq when hell broke loose. at first, the Iraqis rejoiced when the US military over thrown the Ba'th regime of Saddam Hussein.\n\nnow we have the Iraqi people (Sunnis and Shiites) and Al Qaida (foreign fighters from all over the Mideast and mostly Sunnis) in Iraq right.\nAl Qaida in Iraq are committed to fight the Americans in Iraq to the bitter end until we either get out or get killed. that's how they think.\n\nafter the first few months the majority of the Iraqis who "rejoiced" when Saddam was caught, started to get tired of the US occupation and the militias started to grow.\nin the beginning there was no fighting between Shiites and Sunnis at all. all the fighting was basically against the US and UK. Sunni Iraqis who wanted to get involved in this joined Al Qaida (foreign Arabs) and Shiites Iraqis joined Al Mahdi Army in Baghdad's Sadr city.\nnow this Mahdi militia was showing our troops hell until the US Army had to make a truce with their leader Muqtada Al Sadr and promised him that the new regime will be controlled by Shiites instead Sunnis who ruled Iraq for many many years under Saddam's regime.\n\nSunnis see this as treason and therefore justify killing the "traitors". they started bombing Shiite neighborhoods, mosques, and markets.\nbottom line is our military is some what responsible for all the sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shiites.\n\nin my opinion both Shiites and Sunnis who do kill innocent people for no reason other than being Sunni or Shiites (civilians) are vicious animals and don't deserve to breath.\nunfortunately the civil war has erupted and there's nothing we can do to stop it.\nmark my words. this current regime will not last for too long.

This war is being fought on many fronts. Some countries had their bank accounts.

Thats why the muslims are gangs, the are given clear warrant to be one.

the shiite muslimsbelieve that the leader of the faith have been ordained by allah and decendent from the prophet mohhamed-it is like our monarchy.\n\nthe sunni orthodox muslims believe that the leader is irrelevent to his birth-and this is where the two groups anger originates from.\n\nit all stems from the medieval times, and within the crusades the sunni and fatimid muslims would rather side with the westerners than unite, due to this dissagreement and border disputes.
