The idea of the US annexing or colonizing or somehow stealing Iraq is silly.

In some form or another, Iraq will remain Iraq, and its oil will be ultimately controlled by the locals, and locals, albeit not all of them, will continue to enjoy the revenues.

Iraq, yes, tried to steal Kuwait, and I remember how Saddam back in the early 70’s was announcing his life’s goal of uniting all Arabs under one flag. This was not supposed to happen as a result of a referendum. Arabia would be next, and others would follow, and we would have to deal with an unassailable nuclear megalomaniac, who would no longer be seen as maniacal, and would have by then really become megalo…

This world is becoming too small to allow such things to happen.
