It is a "reality" article. I think that in the end Iraq will split into three countries; the Sunni West, the Kurdish North and the Shia South and East. The elections is the beginning of that disintegration. Notice how Tony Blair is not playing a significant role any more in Iraq. He knows better that to gloat about democracy in Iraq. After all who would know history better than the British. In 1947 when the Indian sub-continent split into two countries of India and Pakistan, many thought that things would settle down. But Lord Mountbatten, the then viceroy had predicted otherwise. And 25 years later there was another split, a split full of bloodshed resulting in Bangladesh and Pakistan. That is what I predict will happen in Iraq. World politics is not as simplistic that some recovering alcoholic cowboy can figure out sitting at a remote Texas ranch with a group of folks some of who do not understand the difference between a potato chip and a silicon chip.
