Media: the United States will give Azerbaijan the Northern area of Iran in exchange for participation in war |

#3 Give? I have no doubt the Azeris would vote to separate given the chance. The irony is that had not the USA (in possesion of the A bomb) not forced the Soviet Union to leave Northern Iran after WWII, it would already be part Azerbaijan. |

#2 We didnt split Afghanistan, which would be quite easily done, given the tribal nature and the spread geography, so why would we do it with Iran? The geographic minorities are there, but mainly at the edges - mainly Kurds in the north and Arabs in the southeast. I would much rather arm them and give them air support if they were to somehow break away, than invade. The only thing American that should hit the ground in Iran are high explosives, not boots. |
