The problem is the nation cannot readily be divided up - take Europe for example. The victors of World War I thought it would be a great idea to split apart old empires - they split up Germany and Austria-Hungary into the various nations we have today... and look at that timebomb.
Fact is, people are dispersed all across the world, just as in Iraq, you may have towns with Shiites and Sunis in em. As the article said, splitting nations up like the British had done was just asking for strife - Southeast Asia, India & Pakistan, and Africa.
The groups will find a hard time to agree on everything from land distribution to borders and what not. And agitation of minorities inside sectors has lead to war - see how Hitler used German agitation in Czechoslovakia to get his way.
What to be done? Thats clearly not an easy one. Its actually one of the ironies of democracy - for every success the world has seen in democracy, there is another failutre in the world.
It is funny to me at least that takign apart dictatorships in some parts of the world can produce results worst of /boggle.
