I think you get my point. There is absolutely NO REASON to believe that Sunnis and Shia will continue to fight into perpetuity as you suggest because it is absolutely clear from the other countries in the region that it is not only possible, but likely, this can be accomplished.

In most of the countries you listed, the Shia are treated like they way minorities are treated in many countries.........poorly. The Shia's hatred for the Sunnis is intense but in most countries, they have no choice but to take the repression and abuse. However, they have a choice in Iraq and we are watching the expression of that choice. So to answer your question the current civil war could go on indefinitely.
