There will be no solution until the Iraqi people overcome the "disagree with me and you'll lose your whole family" attitude.
As a group they must stand up for whatever they're going to stand for and learn to work things out. Unfortunately, starting a "new" government is very bloody over there. A couple of thousand years of rule by tribal warlords is going to be hard to get over. Saddam held everyone in check with the existing "might is right, no you have no say" form of government. Starting over here was hard too. Most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence lost most everything, re-starting after the Civil War here was pretty bloody too. Attitude and agreement is everything .

No. And our securing Iraq's oil interests into the hands of our own corporate enterprises with Iraq's blessing isn't the answer either.
The premise that security is the underlying issue and that some kind of agreement can be reached by killling off all who oppose our real goal (Oil interests) makes light of one issue and ignores the overall reality of why we are there. If Bush would just stand up there and go over the "Greed for Oil" priciple this war is based on he'd be more better off. Trying to keep the cat in the bag is how we ended up where we are today. Simply stating from the get go, his true relationship with the Saudi's and our need to get over there and depose Saddam, privatize his oil for our own use, would have been a more plausable excuse to the citizens of America, not so plausale to the UN. Sorry to say, but he chose neither, and has deceived both.

There is already a political solution in Iraq. The Iraqi people voted for the people they want in office to represent them. If they picked the wrong people, oh well, they have to figure it out. They don't give us money and military support when we pick an incompetent person. It is time that the Iraqi's step up to the plate and fight for their own future.

No, the big thing is to get the Iraqui people interested in fighting their own war by having our Military to teach them. It seems Iraqui men are more lovers than fighters but they seem happy to have us do the fighting for them.

No. Security comes first. Politics will fall into place after that and then the economy will get going again.
The problem is security keeps getting worse and worse. I like to call it a civil war.
