Let's not forget that the US fought a bloody civil war to keep the country united. The idea of breaking up iraq looks to be part of the neo-con "divide and conquer" strategy.

It is aimed at keeping Iraq in the dark ages. OR Jeb Sharp: Much of the subsequent horsetrading had to do with oil. Under the original agreement, the French were supposed to get the province of Mosul in the north of Iraq.
