Unfortunately you may be right, as one of the biggest misconceptions about Iraq was that it was a single unified country which was desperate to be a western style democracy.
Wrong....
Iraq was (and is) a false country which was invented by the UK and France less than 100 years ago, by sticking three completely different groups of people, who didnt like each other together.
You have the Kurds in the north, the Marsh Arabs in the south and sandwiched between them you have the Mesopotamians.
It is only 80 years of firstly colonial rule and then brutal dictatorship which kept them together, and now they have the chance they all want to go their seperate ways with the southern mainly shiite Arabs moving towards Iran, the Kurds trying to link up the Kurdish lands in Northern Iran and Turkey with their new homeland around Mosul and Kirkuk and the old Sunni and Christian minority in the centre (which has no oil wealth) being left with the unimportant bit.
The genie is now out of the bottle and this "country" will not see its first centenery.

The solution for Iraq is to create the countries of Kurdistan, New Babylon (Sunni), and Mesopotamia (Shiite). Each would have enough resources in their respective areas to have a thriving economy. The proof is the current Kurdistan. The UN would have to make guarantees and concessions to Turkey. The U.S. would have to pay for these by funding a trust set up at the World Bank. At worst, the cost would be a small fraction of our future costs in Iraq if the countries are not created. Baghdad may have to be split temporarily just like Berlin was after WWII.

Yes, its already in place, that's why all the violence, a few Crooks in the oil ministry control all the money and resources,, They hand out a few dollars like welfare to the Shiites ,Sunnis , and Kurds.... The Progress report due in September is a oil revenue sharing agreement written up by Bush N Co. To let US based companies continue to control the oil infrastructure, production , and export, of the oil...... Nice work Bush..
