Strongman for Iraq?

The most sensible solution to please all segments of Iraqi populace would be to split into three countries--Kurds in the north, Shiites in south, and Sunnis in the middle. Creating a multi-ethnic democratic peaceful state in that part of the world is a huge challenge, and beyond what could be accomplished with a quick exit. Three separate countries would have a far better chance, if borders could be agreed on before we departed.
