WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Joe Biden has something to gloat about at Wednesday night’s New Hampshire presidential debate.

The Deleware Democrat’s amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill calling for a fundamental change of policy in Iraq passed the Senate overwhelmingly Wednesday, 75-23.

The non-binding resolution is based on Biden’s long-talked about plan to divide Iraq into three regions based on its ethnic makeup — Sunni, Shia, and Kurd….”

Comment:

The British empire went in and made a fake state out of three rival groups in the Middle East. Now the US empire goes in and breaks that all up. Iraqis, of course, had nothing to do with it either time. They didn’t like it then, and they won’t like it now.

As an admirer of small states (the smaller the better), I am all for breaking up multiethnic empires, along whatever lines people want. Only, I would rather it happened voluntarily and peacefully and not through civil war — as in the former Yugoslavia — or through implosion – as in the ex- USSR. Peacefully, let them all break up — including India.

So, the question I want to put to Biden is only this. When is he going to start working on breaking up the United States?

Then we’d go back to being what we were supposed to be —  a federation of states….
