Dividing Iraq could mean a catastrophe for the region, civil war in Iraq a la Bosnia but WITH American troops on the ground as a plus. Turkey would most certainly oppose this vehemently read "Turkish armor masses in Turkish Kurdistan." The Turk woudl never cede Kurdistan, not without very major political, and economic gain. "Greater Iran" would gain strength so considerably in this deal that "co-opting" into alliance rather than threatened with war may become a feasible route for any superpower.

Every educated and highly intelligent neo-imperialist would glow with glee at the prospect of dividing Iraq. By dividing Iraq you divide the region and further you increase the divide between "with us or against us" possibly drawing much more moderates into the extreme right on both sides.
I disagree with you on this one.I think that Iraq should be divided in two states Iraq and Kurdistan.The Shiias dont wont to be part of Iran they are from same ethnic group with Sunnis both are Iraqi people and they dont want be part of Iran that is mainly Persian.Other hand the Kurds are a Nation without a country and in order to spare that area from civil war They should have their own state.If that would be achieved The Syrians who are natural enemies of Turks would ally with them in order to avoid Turkish power growth in the area.
