Sunnis offer peace deal

There are a lot of Shi'ite families that lost people to Saddam's Sunni government. Eye for an eye has been the rule of law there for many centuries, and former Ba'ath Party members are executed daily.

If we can keep Iran from influencing the Shi'ites too much, then there is hope for an eventual peaceful settlement where Kurds, Shi'ia and Sunni all share power.

If Iran has it's way, then civil war will be inevitable, with the Sunni dominated military fighting the Shi'ite dominated police force.
