One wonders about the logic of U.S. intervention in Iraq following the initial successful military invasion of 2003.In the latest episode to counter the ISIS Sunni insurrectionists that developed as a post-Saddam resistance against infidels movement to establish a fundamentalist Sunni caliphate, President Obama has decided to send four or five hundred trainers to motivate the poor performance of the Army Army to fight. That is sort of like finding a coach who will restore the Knicks to the Fraser, Bellamy, Bradley form of yore. It is also improbable and the military doesn't have a coach of Phil Jackson caliber up to the task of motivating Iraqis since Petraeus was cashiered for somewhat lustful pursuits and emails of a classified nature in some sort of trade possibly for some kind of favors.
Iraqis like most people like money that has value. Giving all Iraqis shares of the oil fields would give a common and unifying political-economic principle that is lacking in the present Iraqi state of affairs. In the present state Shi'a face-off against Sunni with D.C. trying to be martinets of Iraqi leadership confining their options to theoretical American style stage democracy with dummies of one side caterwauing agin t'other. In more basic, less decadent societies without question of homo marriage often those tribal and religious contests spill blood. then strongmen take over to suppress dissent. In the U.S.A. rich people just buy up everything and fire anyone in opposition to the will to concentrate wealth and expand power globally. Willing puppet politicians yap like hungry dogs to the kibbles and bits of policies pleasing to the rich,.
American interventionist policy seems like the tensor calculus of not being able to fight the way out of a wet paper bag always relying upon superior military force and killing a lot of people; rubbing them out like insects with special insect killing technology. It might be more realistic to take up practical human policy-not diplomacy to dupe the poor for the benefit of the rich, and just apportion Iraqi oil fields to all people-Sunni, Shi'a and Christian-such as remain-so they really have financial ties that bind to overcome their religious squabbles.
On a practical basis American desire to have the terrorists hush up and make nice probably won't happen soon. Yet if the ordinary people of Iraq have a rational government that issues equal stock ownership of Iraqi oil in a one-time distro social organization may form around the new facts rather than of a few soldiers of dubious allegiance forming to receive free weapons and training to kill under U.S. supervision until American leaves again so the real battle for Iraq can resume.
Middle-East terrorists probably know that the United States won't tolerate the existence of a terrorist, fundamentalist Middle-Eastern caliphate for domestic political reasons among many. U.S. politicians have been friends of many global dictators for financial reasons in the past, yet they cannot be so with dictators that oppress women and queers to the point of death in the later case as there are quite a few women and queers that vote in the U.S.A. Isis terrorist cannot much enjoy the hard raps on the knuckles by drones and various experimental weapons that perhaps greet them on occasion. Given some chance to join peacefully in stock shares if they are Iraqi citizens many of them too would probably opt for the good coffees and shade of being an owner sharing in oilocracy.
