I've heard it said that Bush might have a bigger chance of success if he had supported a country "Kurdistan," broken those 3 sections of Iraq up into the 3 respective parts, but Turkey would've opposed a Kurd nation because they could possibly lose a lot of southern territory if there was some sort of pan-Kurdism, and a fractured Iraq would be harder to administer, as well as look bad to Arabs. I think the effect is better if we take Iraq as a whole.

As for the people who say the new Iraq is the puppet of Satan, that is what we are trying to change, that anything that doesn't follow the strictest interpretation of the Quran is evil.
