"Flesh this out for me, Mike. Why should the majority Shia cave to the Sunni. Why should Shia trust Sunni to do the right thing and contribute to the greater good just because they have a seat at the table?..."

And that is the problem indeed. Majority rule solutions do not work for significant minorities. And if the shia want a united iraq more than a shiaa semi-islamic state they will have to hold their nose and deal. One man one vote doesnt apply in our US Senate or in the Electoral college and i am sure minority rights are ensconced elsewhere as well, whether by geography, race, religion or nationality.
