Time to Cut the Arabs Lose?

Since the attack on the Golden Dome Mosque several days ago, the Sunni and Shia Arabs have been having at it. Some believe this to be the begging of a civil war that could spread across the entire region. Personally I am of the opinion that it is to soon to cut and run from Iraq, the Coalition needs to stay the course (ideally Canada would commit troops to Iraq but given the current political situation here that isn't likely to happen). However if the Arab portion of Iraq becomes emershed in a civil war I would suggest that Coalition Forces undertake a strategic withdrawel to Northern Iraq with the intention of establishing an indepeandent Kurdish nation. The Kurds would have to reject all territorial claims in Turkey, but then with American support pursue the Kurdish territories in Syria and Iran to be absorbed into this new nation of Kurdistan. Additionally support should be given for pro-Democracy movement in these countries, well the Iraqi Shia and Sunni are left to duke it out amongst themselves. This withdrawel would only be temporary, as once Kurdistan was up and running Coalition forces would again move on Central and Southern Iraq whith the aim to complete what was began back in 2003. Namely the creation of a stable Democratic Iraq (minus Kurdistan).
