What about creating a 4th State for Iraq? This is my my father (George Meegan)’s proposal, and I feel it is most realistic. Sen. Joe Biden has proposed that there be 3 divided sections in Iraq, for the Sunis, Shias and Kurds. My father proposes that there be one more section; for those many Iraqis who do not find a place in either of the 3, who seek a working democracy, who ask for America’s help. The US forces may guard that democratic state and call it victory (for if it happened, it will be), and help keep the divided states under control.
When Britain created Iraq, it’s differing factions were not taken into consideration. Therefore a unified Iraq is, I feel, a near impossible task to begin with?
For the happiness of the Iraqi people, and a victory for the United States, dividing Iraq into 4 sections is, I feel the most realistic.
I have only here, the core of the idea. Questions of where that 4th state will be, the division of oil, etc., have to be answered, but I wanted to get this main message to you.
I would appreciate any responses sent to ayumimeegan@gmail.com
