Civil War sounds like an option.
But, yikes. When all you have are 'plow shares' ~ scythes and sickles, sticks and stones ~ WTF do you do?
What you can ~
try to let the outside world know what's going on;
try to enlist some sort of aide;
try to survive.

How dumb are you?
do you really think that in this day and age, all the iraqi people have are scythes and sickles? They have guns. lots and lots of guns. They didn't use it in an uprising against the government because they didnt feel compelled to. They didn't think it was worth dying for. Now, thanks to the US, they don't have a choice.
The kurds in iraq have been staging a revolt for years. for years they have been organizing militias to fight for an autonomous state. The greater iraqi population saw no need for such a revolt.
