The tensions with Israel internally and externally could be solved with a fundamentalist Muslim state, a fundamentalist Jewish state and a bipartisan secular state for all the Jews and Muslims who don't want religion pushing them around.

The Iraq War would have been over weeks after the US invaded with a three state solution, a Sunni and Shiite country plus Kurdistan.

Peace doesn't stand for unity. Peace stands for pieces.


The small tribe that Muammar Gadhafi belonged to has became an autonomous region of Libya. It could have become an antonymous region in Lybia with Gaddafi in charge before most of the people died in the Libya war. In Afghanistan Sunnis and Shiites often don't get along. How about three states. Kabul area where people who don't require burkas or religious fanaticism running their life. A Sunni religious state, Shiite state, or perhaps two Shiite states one for the more secular. Otherwise woman-libers and secularists around the world could pay a stiff rent to Mullah Omar to let Kabul be secular. With Turkish peacekeepers guarding the border around Kabul. Remember China allowed Hong Kong to be antonymous after Britain stopped paying rent so as not to break the golden financial egg.

In Bahrain, Shiite areas don't want to be ruled by a Sunni king. In Syria the Sunnis are trying to overthrow the Sunni King. While the nonviolent reformers just what the King to be limited to make Syria a Constitutional monarch.


Small government units not larger ones.


Why shouldn’t Miami become a separate country for Cubans who don't like Cuban policy. And Puerto Rico become a state under the condition that if a English only law is passed by Congress it would immediately trigger a referendum in Puerto Rico, and New Mexico, for a binding vote on Independence. And if the militia want a separate country similar to a native American Indian tribe why not let them have it?
