And you also said that the country would devolve into an ethnic civil war. Didn't happen. Sorry Steven, just more hand wringing. Just give it a little more time, as Cheney & friends like to say. There have already been reports of "Kurdification" in the north against the Turkamen there. Kurds taking back their land and farms lost over the years. What do you think will happen if the US gets its way with Turkey--giving them their $8b loan in return for Turkey sending 000s of troops into Iraq. What a great idea, that will settle things down. Civil war in Iraq is almost inevitable. But it won't happen immediately. Too much dust in the air, too many firefights already going on, the presence of the US inhibits it. Wait till the US leaves. After a few years (if that), the sh_t hits the fan. Unless someone unexpectedly turns up who really is a great politician/leader. I'm not holding my breath on that--the situation is probably so conflicted that not even Moses could clear it up.
