And you also said that the country would devolve into an ethnic civil war. Didn't happen.

That isn’t what I said. I said that when Iraqi political parties begin to form they will probably differentiate along ethnic and sectarian lines rather than ideological lines, and that this could lead to political paralysis and possibly to ethnic breakdown. That could still happen, and it is much more likely to happen if we hand over power prematurely. In any event it is too early to tell, since political parties have not yet begun to differentiate.

If a two-tier economy dominated by returning exiles and foreign investors begins to emerge, do you really think there won’t be a nationalist backlash?
