Iraq may descend into chaos, or it may split into three countries, or it may stabilize under the most powerful local group, who knows? Whatever happens to Iraq, it won't be a defeat for the USA, unless you define victory for the USA as the USA providing three meals a day, a good education, and decent infrastructure for Iraqis.... Things may deteriorate for Iraqis, but that's not our concern, now, is it? They will reap what they sow. What is incredible to me is that I think it's possible that you actually believe that you are making sense here, just telling a "simple" truth. Gee, why isn't it perfectly obvious to everyone that a country can go into another country if it suspects of it harboring enough ill will towards it that it might attack it somehow, even though the invaded country has not obvious means of delivering that attack, however much it might desire to do it? Can anyone wonder why the rest of world thinks that the US is the greatest threat to world peace out there right now? And wants to develop an alternative superpower as quickly as possible so that they aren't subject to the whims of mindless US patriotismn and the swagger of the lunatics who don't have a clue what governing is about but who we elect every once in a while? Good grief, Elroy, I wish you were writing satire. I fear you're not though.
