A well-worded mission statement from Canada's greatest expert on all things Canadian — I mean, don't even bother opening your mouth when this man has his own mouth open and functioning — so what to do about Iraq? Let the Peshmergas have the north, let the Shiites have the south, encourage a free Iraq in the middle ... brilliant, BruceR!

The difference is the difference between attempting to impose a solution (and failing that, to belatedly accept one), and accepting the inevitable and, from that point, making it as easy as possible for all involved.

And the same thing here.

Or, in other words, mind your own business. But it's old news now. The next thing is how to dissuade the manics from starting a war in Iran.
