Kurdistan is ok. Shiaa in south are fighting for position among each other for the most part and the brits that are left are hunkered down at their base fearful of coming out. Anbar is what you say it is but the situation is hopeful nevertheless. Al quaedaa after all is the enemy. Of course this alliance with insurgents and tribal leaders could have been had earlier if the US was less unwilling early on to negotiate with former insurgents. The real question in iraq and what will be contested by all parties including al queda, militias, sunni insurgents, etc. is bagdad and its extended suburbs. Thats where the ethnic cleansing will take place in greater dimensions after we leave. But as things deteriorate there both shias and sunnis, iran and mod arab states, will see that they indeed do have common interests in reaching an overall settlement. The solution may involve three states or some sort of federation. And the US will at least be able to laugh because iran will be stuck in their own quagmire and if we really want to have some fun we can make life as difficult for them as they do for us now. But i am not advocating that--too short sighted.
