"Looking at the competing factions leads me to think that partitioning is likely. If the elections are to be successful there must be some sort of power sharing and veto...like a parlimentary system. Otherwise any political solution will likely breakdown into a civil war."

Like I said, I don't think partitioning is likely to be a more stable solution than a unified democratic nation. Partitioning will leave the Sunni's out in the cold economically, which gives them an incentive to attack either or both of their new Kurdish or Shia neighbors.

I guess we'll have a better idea later this month of how it's all likely to work out.

Happy New Year.
