i was thinking about the civil war in iraq and how they are killing people of other parts of islam (shia vs. sunni vs. kurd). and i know that the best way to keep ethnic peoples from fighting is breaking up their country into 'purer' partitions. so if us the US would split the country three way between kurds, shia, and sunni. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Iraq_demography.jpg
split it where the ethnic lines are.
what do you guys think?

This solves nothing...It ends a civil war, and creates new wars. It only validates they are different, and feeds their hate for eachother. They will fight over what they think should be their country. One will take over, and another repressive regime will be put into place...

they are fighting over political power of iraq. so if you split them up then they will each control their government.

They're fighting over equality in government mostly. The Kurds seemed to be let out of a lot of things while the Shias and Sunnis get most of the power, but I think they might of fixed that by now. I havn't really been keeping up with the Iraqi War news lately.
It's a possibility that I've thought about too, and brought up here several times already. Iraq was formed in the 20s from 3 provinces, which still roughly reflect ethno-religious divisions in Iraq. At least with 3 nations, you can put in UN buffer zones between them, unlike the mucky federal state now.
Mosul would be shi'ite.
Baghdad would be sunni.
Kirkuk would be kurdish.
That is, if you go by what is in Kurdistan, the Sunni triangle, and what is everywhere else. The problem is Kurdistan also extends into Turkey, an important regional ally. If we were to creat a Kurdistan in Iraq, violence in Turkish Kurdistan might ensue, as they make their bid for independence as well.
What the country needs is something to be able to band together about. As odd as it may seem, the best hope we have for creating a stable Iraq is if Iran invades.
