After seeing what happened in Yugoslavia is this something better?

Yes, weak manageable chunks. Perfect for an empire engaged in a genocide.

Well what they appear to be saying is that it is too late to save Iraq and that it must be reconstituted so that ethnic groups do not murder each other.

OKAY...

How?

Well you eliminate the ethnic conflict by separating them from each other.

How will this be done? And who will draw the map?

Who are "they" and isn't that exactly what the US congress called for? Isn't that the defacto effect of Iraq Kurdistan? And isn't the the effect of the US inspired and supported ethnic cleansing?

This isn't about ending violence in Iraq. It is about managing the violence in a way that most benefits the empire. Violence is the tool of the empire.

They:

quote:
he fragile nature of interdependence among nations, threatened by four lethal world conditions -- overpopulation, unequal distribution of resources, deterioration of the environment and the chaotic status of human rights -- is the context in which The Fund for Peace must operate.

Peace as the mere absence of war is not a sufficient objective. Our projects -- whether they inform the American public about a crisis, testify before Congress on U.S. policy, or publish reports about dangerous arms races -- confront issues that arise from the fact of interdependence and the conditions that threaten cooperation among nations. It isn't enough, however, to note these conditions and to say vaguely that we are doing something about them.

The Fund exerts two principal efforts to affect decisionmakers. First, it promotes scholarship to define problems and to provide competent answers. Second, it uses the knowledge and information it obtains to participate in debates and inform the public of the facts.

It cannot be emphasized too strongly how much these two efforts -- scholarship and public engagement -- go together. The Fund's primary task is to correct conditions that threaten human survival through a combination of scholarship and active civic education.


The question really is, are organizations like this one duped by the propaganda?

They seem to be on the right track but do they envision the US and NATO doing the dividing? What authority will have the capacity to set this plan in motion? How will it be done?
