Present day Iraq was formed by us Brits back in the 20's/30's by combining several hitherto automonous regions (Mesmopetania, Kurdistan and ... somewhere else..).

Reverting to seperate states along ethnic lines seems plausible, but as we as the occupying powers are obligated to ensure that each of the states will be long-term economically viable.... and there's the rub....
