BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraq is on the brink of total disintegration and could drag its neighbors into a regional war, a leading think-tank said, after the Pentagon confirmed violence was at an all-time high.

The warning from the International Crisis Group came amid lawless chaos in Baghdad, where police were hunting for 16 kidnapped aid workers and a former minister who escaped from jail, allegedly with the help of US hired guns.

The ICG's report called on Washington to distance itself from Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's beleaguered government, which has failed to tackle sectarian militias, and reach out to the United States' arch-foes Iran and Syria.

The permanent members of the UN Security Council and Iraq's six neighbours should engage with all the parties to Iraq's spiralling conflict, it urged, while nevertheless holding out little prospect of success.

2. I'm convinced they won't be satisfied until the whole world is at war....

War is peace, dontcha know.

3. Think of the profits with the whole world at war! Of course we would

need to make sure that some small part of the world were neutral and at peace, so that the profits could be enjoyed. But that's no problem, every upscale locale on the planet is bidding for the "neutral" gig. We just have to pick the best place. Meanwhile, we rake in obscene amounts of money and solve two pesky problems at once - the over population problem and the poor people problem. We can eradicate poverty (i.e. poor people) and get even richer in the process! It's a win-win, people! Well...for us it's a win-win, but who gives a fuck about those others?
