*de*volve? The new country would include Baghdad and as such would start out with a civil war. I certainly agree that an independent Kurdistan would be (and by some measures already is) a viable state, but I think if that were recognized by the UN it would wind up being viable the way Israel is viable: with a whole bunch of neighbors whose policy is that it should not exist. Better, I think, not to push on that one.
True that Sunnis in the southern state won't want to pack up and move. But there really aren't very many Sunnis there at all, far fewer than there were Muslims in Hindu areas of India.
