So is the political reunification in Iraq the most important piece or
isn't it?

I say no. Let the Kurds opt out and let the Shiites opt out. Better yet,
give the Kurds and the Sunnis weapons of mass destruction and have them
wipe out the Shiites. By the time they've toppled the ayatollahs in
Iran, the Western countries will be free of the petroleum habit and
Saudi Arabia will implode.
