Here's all one needs to know about what is happening in Iraq: As France 24 reported, "Iraqi security forces made no effort to stop the protesters as they marched to the heavily-fortified Green Zone after a funeral held for those killed in the US air strikes, letting them pass through a security checkpoint leading to the area." Consider that for a moment, and let the anger surge through your veins.
Natural equilibrium needs a natural re-alignment of social, cultural, and religious forces, which comes inevitably after heavy bloodshed.
For any such "Grand bargain" to appear, there needs to be an amoral compromise, based on relative gains.
Technological advancements like drones, with a carefully drafted foreign policy that lets local actors balance each other, is sufficient, and the money spent on building bathrooms in Basra could be spent on intelligence and surveillance from within Western borders.
Let them spend their own blood and treasure and impoverish their wealth maintaining security trying to dominate the massive Sunni population of Western Iraq and Northern Syria.
Why not let Iran do that on their Western front? With the Iranian Quds force leader dead, Iran would look to escalate in asymmetric ways, like it did during President Reagan's time, by bombing Americans in Lebanon.
Let's finally stop going abroad to search for monsters to destroy.
