I don\'t know why they don\'t split the country up into several states.  It worked for the US.

I think Iraq is too small to be broken up into states. A federal system of government there is harder than here. If they broke up into states, they would be the size of counties here, unless they broke up into like 3 or 4 states and had a type of dual federalism where the federal government cooperates with the state level governments. Otherwise, a unitary government is the way to go where it is democratic.

Your probably right, but to get the different culture to agree on anything now as a whole is terrifieng

democracy is way overrated.  let\'s focus on making Iraq liberal first.  If not they will end up with an illberal democracy which doesn\'t help anyone.  Someone please listen to Fareed Zakaria.
