Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Speaking of smart people opposing partitioning Iraq, I think it makes sense myself. The current lines were drawn more or less at random, and have nothing but recent history to argue for them. Much as I want a good alliance with Turkey, I really, really want to give the Kurds a homeland; would a loose confederation work for anyone? What about giving the Kurds a country with a firm admonition that they want to remain our friend?
