"The recent events in Iraq are very very bad news."

Not necessarily.

If one accepts the contention that 'Iraq' is a highly artificial 'nation' --- who's disparate religious and ethnic groups have sought freedom and self-determination for DECADES, indeed, for centuries... but been held together by force against their will, then the prospect of 'Iraq' breaking up into two or three more representative smaller nation-states is not 'bad' at all.

It's merely an inevitable consequence of knocking Saddam and the Bathists off of their perch.
