Iraq Faces Imminent Break Up

As I noted on Monday, Iraq is fracturing. Diplomats and others in positions of authority now admit that Iraq is facing imminent break up.

A Western diplomat has told The Telegraph:

"We have used the word crisis about Iraq before, but this is the real thing.

There is no doubt about the scale of the threat that it poses to Iraq's continued existence as a state, and it is also a threat to the wider region too." 

This is the consequence of enforced regime change without there being a viable post regime plan for stabilisation and rebuilding.
