The happiness of Iraqis is not the number one issue facing the world. If left to their own devices, it is impossible to say what Iraqis will do or what will make them happy. Most likely the country will show signs of disintegrating and the divisions will grow sharper and possibly more violent in the power struggle that almost inevitably awaits them in the future. If Iraq survives as a country, it is likely to be increasingly dominated by religiously-oriented political parties that will have trouble concealing their glee at the prospect of the US getting the hell out of their country. We will declare victory and use Iraq for whatever purpose suits us at the moment -- principally as a source of oil and military logistic support to threaten other countries in the region.
