Re: "Sunni Lands Show New Oil and Gas Promise" This could prove to be an important development... but it could cut any of several ways. It could either: A) Give Iraqi Sunnis an incentive to remain within a federated Iraq. B) Or it could provide increased incentive for Iraqi Shiites (& Kurds) to de-populate these Sunni areas and grab the resources themselves.... C) Or, it could increase the desire of ALL THREE Iraqi major ethnic and religious groups to go their own way, and form their own nations, because it could mean that ALL THREE REGIONS, (the Kurdish North, the Shia South, and the Sunni West), could be economically viable enough to stand on their own... or in combination with another neighboring State. D) Lastly, natural gas (& much of this appears to be nat. gas finds) is essentially worthless until pipeline infrastructure is in-place to get it to market....
