Aksariya Mosque bombing pushes Iraq toward civil war

So... wait.

My mentality is liberal, but mnost liberals would realize it was wrong?

Then... either my mntaility ISN'T liberal, or you can't string two sentences together without fucking up. I wonder which it is?


All the rest of you, very droll, but with the exception of abcdxxx just barely, totally ignored the question.

Gameplay it. Sunnis and Shiiites go to all out, totally predictable sectarian civil war. What do we do?

I'm not asking if they might solve it themselves, I'm not asking if it's ironic they care so much about cartoons. I'm saying we've gotten ourselves into a lot of trouble by refusing to consider bad outcomes like not being greeted with flowers. If there is open civil war, what might be a response?

Closeing the borders is good idea, but we no longer have the authority to do it. Woud we side with the Shiites because they won more votes? This is their fledgling democracy, right now, and they've already made clear that it's swell we want a unity government but it's not up to us. Crossing your fingers and hoping for the best is not a policy.

I'm asking because in the event of a civil war I cannot think of one way we are not totally fucked. I was wondering, actually wondering, if anyone had another viewpoint.
