"I see insufficient glue to hold Iraq together, so why pretend?"

Well, it is this way. While an independent Loserstan doesn't concern anyone, independent Shiastan and Kurdistan concerns everyone. Shiastan raise the fear that Iran is now the major regional power, and none of those countries find that appealing. Kurdistan is almost as problematic. Not only is Turkey absolutely rabid on that issue, so is Syria and ironically enough, Iran. Between the three, one or more is going to eat Kurdistan.

A fragmented Iraq is probably the most destabilizing thing that could occur in that not too stable region.
