Via Think Progress, I found an offensive and stupid article by Mort Kondracke in Roll Call(subscription required).
(IN)accepting rule by Shiites and Kurds, allowing them to violently suppress Sunni resistance and making sure that Shiites friendly to the United States emerge victorious.”
Winning will be dirty because it will allow the Shiite-dominated Iraqi military and some Shiite militias to decimate the Sunni insurgency. There likely will be ethnic cleansing, atrocities against civilians and massive refugee flows.
Kondracke says it’s understandable that Sunnis suffer because “so far they’ve refused to accept that they’re a minority. They will have to do so eventually, one way or another.” After all, he says, “Civil wars do end. The losers lose and have to knuckle under.”
Shia is only practiced by between 10 and 15% of the muslim world. The Kurds are hated by pretty much everybody except for us. Kondracke proposes that we allow these minority groups of the muslim world to slaughter thousands of Sunnis.
I honestly think Bush's plan of losing very slowly is much better than Kondracke's new proposal of genocide that would result in a region wide religious war that would have made Lebanon look like a fun place to visit in the 80's. It is that bad.
Kondracke should not be acknowledged in polite society after this monstrous column. Well, he can still do the Beltway Boys on Fox. I often wonder how people pal around with Pat Buchanan, so I guess Mort "Winning Dirty" Kondracke will still be on all the invite lists to the shame of those who enable such profanity. As a fellow Army veteran, I do point out that he disgraces the uniform he once wore. He was in the Counter Intelligence Corps, which does make his insane views more understandable.
I say fuck alot. Mort Kondracke calls for ethnic cleansing. Which is more revolting?
