Iraq: Hell has broken out here and nobody cares

the situation just feels so hopeless

if you back either of the 3 main fractions the militants in the other camps very likely will try everything to disrupt the government, because there is a deeply rooted mistrust in each other, which is one of the causes for this ISIS/IS shit going on right now

and splitting up Iraq into 3 countries will likely leave the Sunnites very mad as all they'd get is worthless desert, the Turks might be quite unhappy with a kurdish country bordering theirs and the Shiite part could become part of Iran in time (not cool for the west)

not to mention that many of the smaller ethnic groups are probably fucked any way

*sigh* I doubt this conflict will be settled any time soon, might rage on for centuries

it feels hopeless when seen from a distance, but for the victims of ISIS even gaining some time is a world of difference

 

that would mean being able to live with their families, even if it is in exile, as opposed to having the males shot and the females sold in markets
