Well, yes and no. If Iraq is so naturally split along Shiite and Sunni lines, and it takes behavior of Saddam to keep it together, should Iraq remain as one country? Isn't the only reason Iraq is there is because the UK just drew a vague line around a few tribes and cities and decided to call it Iraq.
I can't see what the problem is with annexing the country. Give the kurds Kurdistan in the north. They've fought impossible odds for their freedom for decades, they deserve it. If they wern't getting oppressed from Saddam, they were getting oppressed from Turkey. If Shiites and Sunnis aren't big or mature enough to live together then just give everyone their own bits and have done with it.
