Seaver....I hope you are right, but I dont see anything that points in that direction. In fact, the sectarian violence seems to be getting worse with each passing month and the bickering and in-infighting in the new government is becoming more strident.
There was an attempt to get the Arab League more involved in a political solution in the interest of regional stability, but that is going nowhere primarily because of the distrust between the two sides - the Arab League is dominated by Sunnis and the majority Shia government in Iraq refuses to engage in serious discussions.
The ultimate solution may come down to carving up Iraq into three highly autonomous regions, but that in itself presents enormous problems.
