Isn't the Iraqi population made up of mainly Shiite,Sunnie and Kurdish Muslims from original and ancient Tribal areas of Iraq to which they could withdraw to,in peace.

The Kurds would be quite happy to have an autonomous or independent state in the north of Iraq. It won't happen because the Turks are against it. There has been a
de facto Kurdish state since 2002. The Sunni and Shi'ite are religious groups, not ethnic or tribal groups. Suggesting they could withdraw to different areas and live in harmony is like suggesting that protestant Irish get the north, catholics get the south and everyone will be happy.

They would then be without the war being extended because of foreign $10 a day insurgents from all over the world,but,especially from Pakistan?

Or far more likely they would be flooded by insurgents from all directions, Saudi, Pakistan, Jordan, Iran, Afghanistan, even the UK.
