3. What should the U.S. do in Iraq now?
I have no earthly idea. Maybe the most sensible thing to do is the most radical — separate the warring parties both physically and geographically. That is to say, stop trying to prop up the arguably untenable fiction that a multi-ethnic, multi-sectarian, post-colonial, mid-FUBAR country can become the 21st century Switzerland, and instead hasten the business of dividing the pie up into three (or whatever) countries. This would probably set a terrible precedent, but it's hard to see how it can be much worse than the one we've established now.

Non-invasive individuals
Robert Anton Wilson
1. Did you support the invasion of Iraq?
No. I loathe invasions and occupations and all violence against non-invasive individuals.
2. Have you changed your position?
Yes. I oppose the invasion even more vehemently, since Bush has used it as an excuse to destroy the last few tattered remnants of the Bill of Rights.
3. What should the U.S. do in Iraq now?
Stop killing people, bring the troops home, and rebuild Katrina damage. (But they never listen to me.)
Robert Anton Wilson is the coauthor of Illuminatus!. His latest book is Email To the Universe.
