text: Here's what I think:\n\nIraq was formed by the British after the fall of the Ottoman Empire (WW1). Prior to this, they were three separately governed provinces, Bosra (Sunnis), Bahgdad (Shiites), and Mosul (Kurds). These culturally different people have been forced into unification and to live as one people since then and have been fighting each other for control since they gained their independence in 1936.\n\nHere's my proposal: Split Iraq back into the three separate provinces. With each of them finally able to govern themselves, there is no longer a need to fight one another.\n\nSupport: The Iraqi congress already voted to allow self rule of these separate groups so Iraq is a country in name only. Also, we already have allowed Germany to reunite to it's pre-WW2 borders. Why not get over aritificially imposed WW1 borders and allow this separation? Worked for Bosnia and Yugoslavia.
