Quotes-start.png "The country has broken up. The United States cannot put it back together again and cannot stop the civil war.

Looking at Iraq’s dismal history since Britain cobbled it together from three Ottoman provinces at the end of the first world war, it should be apparent that it is the effort to hold Iraq together that has been destabilising.
