Senator Joseph Biden … compared the US quandary to a 1920 revolt against British colonial rule. “We are caught in the middle. The greatest concern here is a two-front war like the Brits faced.” The 1920 revolt was suppressed only after 2,200 British troops and an estimated 8,450 Iraqis were killed or wounded.

The British took three years to turn both the Sunnis and the Shias into their enemies in 1920. The Americans are achieving it in just under a year.
