I ran into a real live Iraqi last week.

He's a Shiite. Has lived in the US for 20 years, working as a medical doctor. Since the Iraqi liberation and the advent of peace, freedom and democracy there, he has traveled back to Iraq several times (once narrowly avoiding a bullet).

His take: Iraqis are gonna have one helluva big civil war (what is happening now is merely the warmup). Doesn't matter what the US does or doesn't do, a meltdown will happen. Too much pent up hatred, too many crazy religious types, too much oil, too many guns. Nothing will be settled until they have the full chance to kill each other. And then the Kurds, Sunni and Shia will simply go their separate ways, sans a million or do dead people. He claimed this view was pretty much the accepted one on the Iraqi street.

He was pretty convincing.

He also said the war was going to come to the US in a big way. They evil-doers are itching to come here and add some Americans to the body count. He was convincing here, as well.

In short, SiouxPal - I bet you wil win your bet.
