Iraq on brink of meltdown ... or not

Telegraph | News | Iraq on brink of meltdown:

"The minority Sunnis, who were the masters under Saddam Hussein, are implacably opposed to the federal nature of the constitution. They fear that it will place oil wealth in the hands of the Kurds in the north and the Shia in the south."

The word I get from Baghdad is that the constitution will make oil a national patrimony and require that oil revenues be shared among the provinces on a per capita basis.
