What if the Sunnis Don't Vote?

The christian Science Monitor asks an important question.
From his statements on Fox News, I have a feeling that Charles Krauthammer's answer is "screw them."
And if they decide the government is illegitimate and try to fight against it?
I have a feeling that sooner or later, the neoconservative answer will be more or less genocide or ethnic cleansing.
Of course, it will take a while before this answer asserts itself, but as it becomes clearer and clearer that you can't force a square peg into a round hole, and as indulging neocon fantasies gets costlier and costlier, eventually we'll be forced to choose between killing all or most of the Arab Sunnis or pulling out.
I fully expect the neocons to be willing to kill the Arab Sunnis to the last amn before they would consider pulling out.

That is all.
