#1 I concur. Iraq never made sense, Sykes-Picot agreement be damned.

#2 Pragmatically, any "partition" or breakup of Iraq into smaller sovereign states is the easy part - I'm more concerned wid the post-ISIS/ISIL + aligned aftermath, whether Iraq stays in federation or not.

The US-Allies should NOT see a repeat of SYRIA where, in their zeal to get rid of Baby Assad, they ended up supporting fervently or militantly ANTI-WESTERN, ANTI-SECULAR, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC, ANTI-JUDEOCHRISTIAN/NON-ISLAM/MINORITY, ... @ETC.
"MODERATE"-BUT-INTOLERANT REBEL GROUPS???

Save now wid POST-P5+1, GOING-NUKULAAR-WID-US-N-WESTERN-APPROVAL-N-SUPPORT NUCLEAR BOMBEY GOODNESS.
