Hi Yuyutsu,

I have a nice bit of land out beyond Oodnadatta that you might like. No neighbours, open spaces, would suit simple lifestyle, sun-kissed mornings, beautiful sunsets, peace and quiet. Old shepherd's hut on the property, needs some work, perfect for long-term handyman. Bore needs some minor work. Short-drop-toilet 100 yds from shack.

Just make me an offer ! ! !

Dividing up of countries doesn't happen without bloodshed.

That's why we have all these millions of displaced and hundreds
Of thousands dead in Syria.

Better to live together in peace without the tribal racism of
Separation.
Why not mix the blood in peaceful encouragement of intermarriage
Then mix the blood in the violent rapes in war presently being
Carried out by Isis to bring the territory and bloodline under their control

You have a choice, war or peace? Which will you decide On for your
Children and grandchildren, peace or death in bloody separatist conflict.

All sides will want the best territorial areas, the ones that have water
And rich land and resources. It won't just be a simple matter of drawing a border.

Dear Cherful,

Czechoslovakia was separated peacefully.
Scotland had a referendum and it was a close call from separating peacefully from England.
The break-up of Yugoslavia was not peaceful, but at the final stage, Serbia and Montenegro separated peacefully.

This is the model we should be looking at.

East Timor finally got its independence from Indonesia: it didn't go smoothly, but at least now they are no longer being tortured.
The Kurds are gaining independence in Iraq - there are difficulties, but their region is the safest and sanest in the region. Should they instead be told how to live by Ayatollahs?

Nobody should have to live under the rule of people with conflicting values.
