11. there isn't a good one
But Kucinich for four years has consistently had the best idea. But, they aren't alleged flaws. They are simply flaws. And when you look at the viability of a plan, which I was doing, that's what you point out. I thought the partition might work, well before Biden advocated it, I was for the general idea for a long time, and to an extent, I still am. But you have to take into account certain relationships between the various factions. For example, the country isn't clear cut set into three different groups. They are intermarried etc. What happens to those families when two mini-states have a conflict with each other? Those mixed families, wherever they end up living risk getting caught up in a bad situation, possibly even genocide. That's what happened in the Balkans too, until eventually the population was sufficiently ethnically cleansed that a partition worked. Oh that's it, that's how Biden's plan will work, we'll wait another few years until the ethnic cleansing is complete, so that a clean soft partition will be viable. Good idea. Although, I'll give the Bush Administration credit, they've already let enough go so that Biden's plan might have a shot of working right now.
