An observation I put on another thread originally:

Lay aside everything else: Iraq has the best chance it could have to survive the Ba'athist regime without descending into civil war, and quite possibly destabilize the whole region. It looks like Saddam was in a good position to secure the succession to one of his sons, so the Iraqis were looking forward to another generation of brutality once Saddam died. But an internal rebellion, even if successful, would have probably opened the Pandora's Box of ethnic rivalry and partition, potentially destabilizing several neighboring countries. Now, having been liberated by the Americans, and having stability imposed, with the hope of persuading the core leaders of the various groups to aim for unity, at least gives Iraq a good chance to become a model for the region.........
