Do you think it's a likely outcome that, whether Iraq gets carved up or not, it will end up with a tyrannical dictator again?
I think you'll either get a failed state reminiscent of Somalia or a brutal, undemocratic central government like Syria's which uses force liberally (hi Penske!) to maintain its rule and keep the country together.
