Bingo. Well written. Just want to add that the Sunni areas has little oil and they're unlikely to stop fighting until they get some.

My position is that things can't be clarified (necessary before they can improve) until the civil war is fought and settled... likely causing the Sunni to split off from the rest of "Iraq", and the Kurds and Shia to actually have their own 'mini-states', though likely in a loose confederation for protection.

Trying to use US troops to hold this unnatural mess together would be insane
