I have said it so many times, it even sounds rhetorical to me. But. I mean every word.


We don't belong in Iraq.

We never did.

Oppose the draft.

Troops out now.

What do I think is the 'proper' course for Iraq at this point? For the USA to withdraw it's troops and leave the country to dissolve into provinces as dictated by their current Constitution. The Unity Government may or may not prove to be necessary to the people of Iraq, but, that is not our call. The future of Iraq has to be left up to the Iraqis and their own determination.


The expansive impact of the current breakdown of Iraq is taking shape between forming alliances, the Sunnis to Saudi Arabia, the Shia to Iran and the Kurds to a movement they have longed to assume, namely the creation of Kurdistan even if it means confronting Turkey. That reality is far less explosive than one might imagine with peace processes to guide the trend, but, if the USA remains as a presence in Iraq, the current dynamics will explode and it might take the whole world with it, including war with Russia and China. I don't really think India's nulcear arsenal is intimidating to either Russia or China.

By the USA leaving the region it will control the flow of arms, munitions of any kind, including, passion for a greater war. Islamic passion for martyrdom is a form of muniton, by the way, in case there is some moron that hasn't figured out that affiliation.

Poverty is never to be tolerated in Islam. It is a catalyst to extremism and sets the ground work for violence. The Sunni and Shia have to find a way to coexist. My concern with the 'Jihadist' President of Iran is that the Shia religious lineage has been so damaged through acts of 'defined' genocide that sacrificing his nation in anger seems a small price to pay if Iran is to accumulate any nuclear capacity. To that end, we need leadership in the USA that overwhelming views nuclear capacity of any nation as a priority of disarmament, that would coincide with the current concensus of Russia and is more than a wise position for the USA, as with 'good faith and verifiable' First World disarmament will come rational reasons for enforcement of disarmament throught Non-Proliferation of countries currently engaged illegally in their arsenals.


I'll return later on the 25th of June to review the polar regions and resultant weather patterns as I usually do. I did notice quickly a trend toward a drier troposphere and very limited potential for significant hurricanes in the Atlantic. This is the return trip of Sol south and the time when most dangerous hurricanes become reality. Later.
