This observation got me scratching my head a bit. Is it conceivable
that _anybody_ could re-"unify" Iraq? Is that a possible scenario 
at all? If so, how would it work? And moreover, is it imperative 
that "unification" should happen? Personally, I prefer multi-ethnic
and multi-religious states to the other kind, but whence arises 
the urgency of putting this particular Humpty Dumpty back together
again?
