The "new" Afghani government is only days old. One could have said the same thing in 1776 about the "new" U.S. government. It was 200 years before a man could safely walk down the street in "most" of the country without a 6-gun at his side.
So a worst scenario for Iraq would have Kurd, Shia, Sunni, & whatever else fighting each other into eternity. Even here the worst threat of today's Iraq (IMHO) would still have been eliminated. Saddam's chemical, biological, & developing nuclear threat would be gone and no longer available to share with terrorists.
