Strongest Argument

My strongest argument is how the establishment of democracy in Iraq will fail. First of all, democracy hasn't existed in Mesopotamia in a couple millennia. The whole region is drowning in genocide and civil disputes simply because it is populated with a culturally diverse people. In order to get the Middle East, specifally Iraq to cooperate with us, we first must convince them to cooperate with each other. Now, there is a reason why Iraqi's are in a constant, brutal struggle with one another and that is because when the British had colonized that area of the middle east, they divided it up into countries. Britain took the Kurdish Mosul, Sunni Baghdad and Shiite Basra and formed them into one land that was later named, "Iraq." Since before anyone can remember, the Shiites and Sunnis have had an immense hatred for one another, and thanks to Britain, they have to live in the same country as one another, as to say they were the same or equal. This is unacceptable to most, which explains how Iraq will forever be a victim of it's own heritage, where violence and and robbery will always prevail.
