Reply With Quote^ Worth noting is that there is that there are resentments, between Sunni and Shiites. There are revenge killings going on throughout the entire country.
It will likely continue for a couple to a few years, regardless of any political progress.
The country of Iraq was created in a hotel room in Cairo, Egypt a little over 85 years ago.
The way Iraq was created - by the British - was not a mistake.

Abuse in Iraq worse than under Saddam, says Iraqi leader
"Human rights abuses in Iraq are now as bad as they were under Saddam Hussein and are even in danger of eclipsing his record, according to the country's first Prime Minister after the fall of Saddam's regime.
'People are doing the same as [in] Saddam's time and worse,' Ayad Allawi told The Observer. 'It is an appropriate comparison. People are remembering the days of Saddam. These were the precise reasons that we fought Saddam and now we are seeing the same things.'"

^ Nation-state boundaries are not always logical - especially - when they are created by foreign countries.
Kuwait was created when the Saud family gave the land to a Wahhabi family in the 1920s. Iraq didn't recognize Kuwait until 1961.
When Iraq asked the U.S. embassy if it was OK to invade Kuwait in 1990, the U.S. Ambassador was instructed to say - and did so - that the Kuwait/Iraq issue was an "internal Iraqi matter."
The U.S. government gave Iraq the green light to invade Kuwait.
The former U.S. Ambassador and aids have testified to this under oath.
