Considering Partition of Iraq

I'm mulling over the proposal that Iraq should be partitioned. Some aspects of it are appealing to me, but I have reservations also. My primary concern is that partioning Iraq would mean undoing the newly elected government. What do we say to the Iraqis? "Hey, we're real proud of y' all for risking your lives to vote, but we have a new plan".

Anyway, here are the more thoughtful posts on the subject that I've seen:
