actually instead of nuking Iraq we should use a hydrogen bomb. Its designed to kill people and leave buildings intact.

Lol. Oh yea, these puppies leave building intact...

 

A hydrogen bomb is just like a nuclear bomb but its fusion not fission. Meaning? Little radiation and a much bigger boom.

 

 Anyway, on topic I agree that we should split it into 2 or 3 regions. The Iraq as we know it is just a mandated artificial border that the UN drew up in the 50's. For milenia the region of Mespotamia was divided into tribal regions where in people got along for the most part. The U.N was formed and it looked at Africa and didn't like how the people there never really formed what Europeans thought of as a real, border defined, nation-state. So they simply took out some pens and some maps and started drawing in lines. They then told these regions "Hey, your all one "country" now. Form a flag and goverment of some kind". 

 Iraq isn't meant to be one region, there are countless generations of bloodshed between Shia and Sunni Muslims. They will not accept rule from the other party peacefully. Either give them each their own region to govern or do what Saddam did and have a fanatical loyal black army that murdered anyone who spoke up. Say all you want about Saddam but his method of rule fit the region perfectly, no terrorist really dared to try to recruit iraqies because they knew Saddam's private army would hear about and kill them and all their familes. 

 

I think he ment a Neutron bomb, they have a small explosion but releases a shitload of radiation killing everyone but leaving most buildings standing.

 

A Capatalist's dream!
