Three states wouldn't work, one state would be piss poor. Which is why the Sunnis fight tooth and nail against it. But that is not the point. The Shia and Kurds have no incentive to keep dealing with them. The Sunnis might be tolerated in Iraq, as very second class citizens, if they behaved themselves. I suspect they fear that future. Having observed tribalism in Africa, I think it is easier for a minority tribe to dominate a docile majority tribe, since the size of the majority tribe somewhat requires equitable treatment, than the other way around. The Sunnis are going to be marginalized if they behave themselves, or exterminated if they don't. So why not become a separate country, even if poor?
