Honey, I'm Home

Let me add on to Jim Henley's adding on.

The Bantustanizing and regional ethnic cleansing of Iraq, along with policies of bribery and Berlin-Wall-building, have indeed suppressed some of the more spectacular violence in Iraq, and so long as the ethnoreligious and political factions remain locked in mutual antipathy but unwilling to abandon their current positions of strength and stability, a situation that allows the construction of a permanent, garissoned American presence may obtain. But what happens when the relative reduction in deadly violence shows itself to be so durable? Well, it seems to me that by the demands of neighboring host governments and through their own accord and desire, the millions of refugees start to return.

Won't that be interesting.
