Re: Cut and run
Well it is a scary option, because as you already pointed out there are others who might get ideas. Especially Syria and Iran which have one major ethnic/sectarian group and several smaller groups which form local majorities but national minorities are very vulnerable. Messing with that could ignite serious trouble along the lines of what happened in Congo.
And a division of Iraq is not inevitable anyway: at one point it looked as if Lebanon would fall apart along sectarian lines. The neighbors were not happy with that one either and it never came about. Now it is not even a serious option anymore.
