Iraq will become a regional war from it’s position as a national war, mainly because of the religious leaders in Saudi Arabia.  The religious leaders are telling the people to support their Sunni friends in Iraq before the Shi’ites (I don’t know how to spell it) overthrow them.  If the religious leaders convince enough Saudi Arabians to participate in this act, then the Sunnis could change the social positioning of the groups in Iraq.  This will also get Saudi Arabia involved in the Iraq war, beginning the regional war.  I would expect the Shi’ites in Iran would assist the Shi’ites in Iraq because they are religiously related.

I propose a different option. I think that the United States should remove all troops, but before doing so the U.S. should consult and discuss the issue with the U.N.. I decided to create this option, because I cannot support the other three options. The United States should not simply remove all troops, because it will result in complete chaos in Iraq and all the other nations around the world will complain in some way or another about how the U.S. made a poor decision. The U.S. shold also refrain from increasing the troops in Iraq because it will make the Iraqies even more reliable on the troops for any type of protection or rule. Increasing may cause some Iraqies to get angry which could trigger outbreaks, and outbreaks may result in more deaths of U.S. soldiers. Furthermore, if there are more soldiers at risk there is a better chance that the soldiers will survive, but there are also more soldiers that can die. I will not forget to mention that if the United States partitions Iraq into three states, there is a chance that border issues will become problematic and the killings will not end as a result of partitioning.
Ultimately, if the United States consults and discusses the situation with the U.N. the reaction to pulling out of Iraq would not be quite as extreme. It is important that the United States does not lose the respect of the other nations in the world.

I looked on CNN.com for links to Iraq and the CNN website gave me a link to the U.N.’s webpage for Iraq. It is more of a website, because it has its own links and it is organized. I was surprised to find the lead article to be about Iraq leading into civil war.

The Iraqi people and their leaders have arrived at an important crossroads: if they are able to build firm foundations for the common interest of all Iraqis, the promise of peace and prosperity will be within reach. However, if current patterns of discord and violence prevail for much longer, there is a grave danger of a breakdown of the Iraqi State, and potentially of civil war.

I guess our ideas are of no use anymore. What has begun will persue, and Iraq is likely to go into civil war. It is too bad Iraq may result in this, because there are going to be millions of fingers pointing as us(Americans).
