"There is no panacea. Iraq is a destroyed and fissiparous country. Iranians and Saudis I've spoken to worry that it might be impossible to keep Iraq from disintegrating. But they agree that the best hope of avoiding this scenario is if the United States leaves; perhaps then Iraqi nationalism will keep at least the Arabs united. The sooner America withdraws and allows Iraqis to assume control of their own country, the better the chances that Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari won't face sahil. It may be decades before Iraq recovers from the current maelstrom. By then its borders may be different, its vaunted secularism a distant relic. But a continued US occupation can only get in the way." ------- Honestly, I think it's much more likely that Sunnis will be devastated by the majority population than that Sunnis will recover power. Besides, the US is still planning to bomb the smithereens out of Iraqis whether or not there are US boots on the ground. We should go a step further. It's not only time to get outta Iraq, it's time to get outta the region.
