The Kurds are divided, but threatened. The threat keeps the divisions under control. The divisions are still there, and if the threat ever subsides, don't be surprised if the PUK and KDP start dancing the headless chicken again. True but insufficient as an explanation. They have managed to get their act together in a way the Shia have not. To the Shiites we are the only thing standing between them and unrestrained domination Possibly, but it implies that the Shia have, or at least think they have, their act together and are ready to take on what's left of Saddam's army and the Sunni and the Kurds to dominate Iraq. If they had their act together like that, you would think that they could put Al Sadr in his place quickly enough (by all reports, he is very unpopular with Sistani and the other ayatollahs, particular after the murder of Khoiei). So far Al Sadr and his bully boys still have the run of Najaf, to the disgust of most of the residents. Hardly seems like a segment of the population that is ready to take over the country.
