I am less pessimistic than you are. I dont think iraq has the kind of divide that yugoslavia had but i think al quaeda is trying to do its best to create it. Once eliminated, all things are possible so what is the best way to get rid of 1500 al quaedas. Sarman says: use iraqi nationalism against crazies & once US is gone this can more easily be done. There is some sense to this because now all nationalists of various stripes are just as focused on the US.

Personally, to give the benifit of the doubt to peace ,i would say there is not a snowballs chance in hell that the kurd ,sunnis and shiites will be able to come up with a plan to share an oil wealth that is not geograficly evenly distributed.

The obvious solution seems to be to nationalize the oil industry. Just because the well is 10 miles from your home doesn't mean you get more of the well's value than some Iraqi who lives 1,000 miles from the well.
