This is essential reading (From the Washington Post - free registration required). At the end of the day, even assuming the civil war were to magically disappear, what Bush, Blair and assorted other jokers have done is created another unstable fundamentalist state in the Middle East.
Iraq is so screwed up that none of their neighbours will tolerate any arrangement that might lead to peace. Iran and Turkey will not tolerate an independent Kurd state, Iran will not tolerate a Sunni-majority south, the Saudis will not tolerate a Shiite-majority Iraq and the possibility of the Kurds, Sunnis and Shias reconstituting a unified Iraq is as likely as Christmas in July - but George the Fourth won't be around to pick up the pieces, will he?
