No. They have always existed and fought outsiders together. When Iran and Iraq were at war, these were the same people fighting together with Iran.Tthough Iran is predominantly Shiaite, none of the Iraqi shias supported them in the war. The media continuously printing the phrase "sectarian voilence" is not going to break their unity. They will live, fight and die together.

In my point of view, It is very likely that Iraq would be divided. The northern part (Kurdistan) for the Kurds, the southern part for the Shiite. The war is going now over the middle part, between the Sunnites and the Shiite. Howwcwe, the Sunnites are minority and might lose the war even over the middle part. In this case, Iraq would be divided into just two parts, a Kurdish state in the north and a Shiite in the middle and south.
If the US policy is smart (which I doubt according to past experience), they should forsee the danger of this scenario, not only on the middle east region, but also on the interest of US itself.
This war is so complicated, and major players in the region all have hidden agenda, and since the US entered this war with no clear Strategy nor vision, we must be prepared for SURPRISES!

Who knows... it could be: 3 countries, Kurdistan, Shiite Iraq and Sunni Iraq. Turkey won't like it. Will cause a lot of problems establishing boundaries anyway, and atrocities against minorities, ethnical cleaning etc...

You never know the future. You can't say it will not.
What right have other countries to say not to divide Iraq when they just sit idle and watch the killing (more likely assist in it).

I believe it will finally between Sunnis and Shias. War will end there. After that it will become like "Iran" and "Iraq" before where they were continuously engaged in war.

MOST PROBABLY IT WILL BE DIVIDED IF THE BOMBINGS CARRY ON TAKE PLACE ON INNOCENT PEOPLE.
