The end of Iraq

Prof. Pipes, If what you say is right (and I hope it is not), then should we conclude the end of Iraq as we see it today? There is no way the Iraqi Kurds will accept Iranian rule while I cannot imagine secular shias like Allawi or any of the Sunnis willing to live under Iranian theorcractic rule. Could this mean the emergence of the first ever independent state of Kurdistan?
