Part of the problem may be that Iraq is really three different countires. It would be easier (though not neccesarily wiser) to divide it into the nations of Kurdistan, Babylon and the Islamic Republic of Basra.

It would have been a lot simpler to get these people to get along if we had MOABed Tikrit.

I still think the Kurds deserve their own nation. Stuff Turkey's sensibilities in the matter. They've not exactly been better than fickle, occasional friends in too many ways.
But then, it's better to have them on our side somewhat than wholesale on the enemy's side.
Tricky area. Tricky issues.
