A last minute deal is likely to bring the Sunnis on board. There's some question as to whether the Parliment can be brought back to Baghdad quickly enough to vote on it, but I can't imagine when they're this close they won't find a way.
Ever since late summer of 2003 the press has been telling us that Iraq is on the brink of civil war or that X, Y, or Z is going to put the country on the brink of civil war. But it always seems as if the Iraqi communities themselves are more interested in forming political communities, defeating the insurgencies and the terrorists, and moving forward. This deal seems to be more evidence of that.
