Who Says These Guys Don't Have Any Ideas?

On November 14th, James from the Infinite Monkeys proposed dividing Iraq into Kurdish, Sunni, and Shiite regions:

One thing I've been sorely dissapointed about in this Iraq thing is why there's never really been a serious discussion about partition. To me its seems like the logical way to go. If I were president that's the direction I'd go.

Basically I'd split Iraq into three separate states.


On November 25th, in the New York Times, Leslie H. Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, penned an op-ed piece titled The Three-State Solution:

The only viable strategy, then, may be to correct the historical defect and move in stages toward a three-state solution: Kurds in the north, Sunnis in the center and Shiites in the south.

Like Kramer, James is clearly an idea man.
