New Saddam left a third big problem
He deliberately resettled Sunnis in areas held by other ethnic groups. Some of the people displaced in that process want to move back where others live. The Sunnis who were resettled have no back to move to.

This situation will not sort itself out in any easy way.

Cheers,
Ben

New The Kurds are alrady undoing that.
Much more peacably than it was done in the first place, by the way.

A unified Iraq is not mandatory. War is the norm in that part of the world. Why not give the more decent people a fighting chance?
