Dickey - There you go with another of your stupid comparisons. Last time I checked, the U.S. was not divided into States on the basis of religion. As a matter of fact, I seem to remember that States are United into one country. If you aren't getting any of Alaska's oil money, then you would be in the same position as Arab Sunnis if Iraq split into separate regions.

At present Iraq is one country, not separate states. Unless it separates into separate political regions, the revenue from oil should be shared by all Iraqis. If they do separate, the Arab Sunnis will get next to nothing because the oil is in territory occupied by Shiites and Kurds.
