Sounds either too logical or requires mass migrations to create monolithic regions. As constituted, there seems to be no tolerance or desire to co-exist.

Indeed we should return Kurdistan to the Kurds assuming Syria,Turkey, Iraq and Iran are willing to surrender the parts they stole.

If both parties do a certain thing regardless of what they say, the leaders of both parties agree on what we should actually be doing, again, regardless of the bather they feed their constituencies.

Very idealistic but reality is that elections roll around every two years, fund raising the first year and campaigning the second. Where is the time to compromise and govern. Each party is fighting for control of one or both houses every election and it is political war.

I suspect the training of this free Syrian force is essentially to aim at ISIS and
to ignore Assad. Assad is not nuclear and has given up his chemicals.
The US should learn by now to look very carefully at regime change in the area.

I'm sorry, I'm not clear. My post is not idealistic. It shows how they (both parties for the record) constantly lie to us. If they both actually do something, even if they say it's wrong, they do indeed agree in private.

Don, the moderate rebels are: Ta Da! Muslim Brotherhood. Bet Egypt LOVES that.
I think Assad is finished anyway.

My post was meant to imply that members of both parties are afraid that they will not get reelected if they quit the lying and tell the truth. As to actually working together, the GOP candidates further risk getting primaried.
So it's all about and only about winning elections. Anything beyond is idealistic IMO.

Oh I see what'cha mean. Funny world were it makes sense an awful thing can be idealistic
Wouldn't it be amazing if one of our leaders where to actually try to educate the public they're supposedly leading? Now there's some starry-eyed idealism
