Will Iraq survive? Should it?

On August 14,2014 Iraq’s prime minister, Nouri al Maliki, agreed to step down. He is to be replaced by Haider al Abadi. But will Maliki’s resignation clear the air? Does a united Iraq have a chance? Some say that the dissolution of Iraq has already happened and that separate Shi’a, Sunni and Kurd regions are de-facto a new country. Can some type of federal system exist? Can Mr. al Abadi undo the factionalism created by Mr. al Maliki?  Is Iraq as we know it finished? Will it survive?  Should it? Please log in and post your comments.
