Yes, but the Sunni and Shia hate the Kurds as much as they hate each other, and the fact that we nailed Saddam will only be remembered so long, and then each group is going to try to grab as much power as they can, for fear that the other groups will do the same and succeed in repressing them. And as the US will be the ones to portion out power, each is going to despise the US for not giving them "what they deserve". The Kurds want land, independance, etc. and they aren't going to get either. The Sunni want to maintain their absolute control, which they won't get, and the Shia will expect to gain total control (being the majority), and if they get anything less, they'll feel we cheated them.
It is good that much of Iraq hates Al Quaeda, although the Kurds have too close of ties to them for my liking; especially things like this ricin factory in the Kurdish-controlled north, and some ties of several big Kurdish rebels to Al Quaeda.
In fact, the Kurds have had help from Al Quaeda in fighting Saddam, who is loathed by Al Quaeda. The Shia aren't too fond of Bin Laden, though, so ther won't be as much support from that side.
