Ah, you've changed the topic of your post slightly. Now it's not about who gets the oil but the overall contribution of Iraqi oil to the global economy. OK. That, of course, raises the same sorts of questions. What proportion is Iraqi oil? If it's not much, then it may well be a non-event. If it's a lot, then it's worth discussing. As for the regional implications, I completely agree. It's just not clear what's the best answer. At the moment, it's not at all clear how a regional conflict is avoided. My own thought is a "soft" federation works best. That is one, in which there are three separate governmental bodies with enough power in the center to allocate the income from the oil resources in some acceptable way. What are your thoughts? But, as for which party is responsible for the current mess in Iraq, that's hardly worth typing about.
