Ike - That's one very optimistic hope and full of self contraditions. A more likely scenario is the break up of Iraq, vis-a-vis former Yugoslavia, rather than a confederacy. The coup d'etat by Saddam's army, as you described, may be the best solution and hope for a confederacy, however shortlived it may be. The new confederate government may be good for a handful of years unless the new strong man is the second coming of Saddam. Without Saddam II the various tribes (Kurds and Shi'ites) would want their independent control of their respective territories and keep the oil wealth and other natural resources for themselves.
