re: #255 recusancy
Sure. Things get real stable when the population ethnically cleanses itself.
Given how things were under Saddam, ethnic cleansing was inevitable at some point. When 20% of the population lords over the other 80% for around 30 years as brutally as the Sunni Ba’athists did, there is going to be hell to pay when the majority finally gets some ability to decide things. That’s not a good thing, but that’s The Way It Is.
