Surviving Kingdom of Iraq?

How could one get the Kingdom of Iraq (1939? - 1958) to survive to the present day? Possibly united with Jordan, as happened in 1958?
 
Does a restoration count? If Abd al-Karim Qasim was too friendly with the Soviets, an American attempt at restoration might be plausible.
 
Britain would have to install a puppet monarchy, like in Egypt, and then offer continued military support to the monarch after independence like they did in Oman. But putting the Husseins in power seemed like a good idea at the time.
