>>>What would Iran and Turkey say and do?<<< Iran would be happy to have an ally in the creation of a separate Shiite nation. Turkey would be pleased that the Kurds did not form their own state, which is what they fear the most. >>>Wouldn't the Shites up north want to stay with their relatives down south?<<< I think it's likely that were a separate Shiite nation formed to the south that still many Shiites would remain in the democracy. By forming the separate Shiite nation, the percentages of Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites remaining in the democracy would be closer and each group would have to compete for the best ideas. >>>Why would the Palestinians want to move to Iraq?<<< I'm not sure they would. But there'd be lots of economic opportunity in the rebuilding of Iraq, and there's long been a solidarity of Iraqis toward Palestinians. So perhaps there's an opportunity window by considering this. >>>More interesting than a 3 state partitioning but, since everyone's mixed up throughout the country AND the Shites can taste majority rule after decades of oppression, why would they want to give up having the entire country?<<< Because the two-state solution solves the problem. The US could even improve its relations with Iran by helping to rebuild the southern Shiite nation.
