The Iraqi Arabs are a doomed mass of people trying to survive in a doomed country being told what to do by inept Iraqi leaders being micro managed by another countries doomed strategy.... For the Iraqi people their only out is for a super large personality to come forward and lead them from the darkness they are in... The USA needs to extricate themselves from their overt presence while at the same time remaining in the area for protection of our American interest's... Present Iranian management is evil and dangerous and intends to dominate over the entire ME with Nuke leverage (if they obtain and demonstrate it)... Syrians (management) are clowns and struggling with their own internal problems... Jordan (management) is conflicted and burning the candle from both ends... SA (management) is mostly behind USA... Turkey is waiting and watching, A Kurdish State will force the Turkish hand.....not a good thing. Middle East is TFU..... USA management is not good for the average blue collar American, this too will have its eventual consequences.... regards

but perhaps oil-share, local autonomy, fear of iranian control, fear of turkey, fear of wababism, fear of tribal leaders losing influence etc. may change the equation. From the Sunni POV, yes. But they aren't going to be able to call the shots. The Shia have no intention of ever sharing significant power with the Sunnis, if they did, we would see some progress I think. The Kurds are just waiting for both their independence and as much oil as they can take with them. So Sunnis are screwed unless outside intervention secures a better piece of the pie for them. House of Saud might, I don't know.
