Will a peaceful Democracy be established?
Will the US military still be there?
How many US troops will die? 5000? 10,000?
Will the Iraqis love us? Hate us?
Thank you for your predictions.

The war will "end" with about 5,000 Americans dead by partition into Kurdistan, Sunni Triangle Land and Shi'ite (province of Iran?) and all three of these new nations will hate us for at least 100 years.
If we need the troops for a war with Iran or a quaranteen or occupation of Pakistan or North Korea, we'll just leave in a military airlift and the three factions will fight it out on their own as a civil war. In that case, the factions will hate us for only about 50 years.

While the current administration wishes to Stay the Course, I have a feeling somone we overlooked will step in. Probably sooner than we think. Put an end to the belief that Bush has kept us safe from attack on our own soil. Citizens who are only too glad to give up their freedoms for the sake of security are going to see the grave errors they have made, but it will be too late.
Insanity runs the world, so it won't end soon.
Peaceful and Democracy rarely occur concurrently.
US military will remain there indefinitely.
The count is over 2700 today. I wish it could have been 0. That is unrealistic. Before it is all over, it will most likely top the numbers we lost in Vietnam.
There will be a few who tolerate us. Love is a powerful word, I wouldn't go that far. The longer we remain, the more we are hated. Not only in Iraq, but throughout the world. As more people right here in the USA losing respect for Bush, how can we expect a country being occupied, not hate us.
Please, let me be more wrong than right.
I love my USA. Red, White, and Blue Forever!

It will end in 10 years. By that time, around 7,500 troops would die, and the Iraqis will find us as neutrals...we will live in peace together. Our own system of government will change by that time as well...very different from what it is now. Peace in this world will happen...time will heal the wounds of today to bring love for the future.

They already hate us as shown in a poll released today!
There will be no Democracy in Iraq, and even Bush and Rice have backed off that!
We have 2 more years of Bush so about 5 to 6,000 troops killed in action!!
We will be out, I hope by 2010!

WASHINGTON - About six in 10 Iraqis say they approve of attacks on U.S.-led forces, and slightly more than that want their government to ask U.S. troops to leave within a year, according to a poll in that country.
The Iraqis also have negative views of Osama bin Laden, according to the early September poll of 1,150.
The poll, done for University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes, found:
_Almost four in five Iraqis say the U.S. military force in Iraq provokes more violence than it prevents.
_About 61 percent approved of the attacks — up from 47 percent in January. A solid majority of Shiite and Sunni Arabs approved of the attacks, according to the poll. The increase came mostly among Shiite Iraqis.
_An overwhelmingly negative opinion of terror chief bin Laden and more than half, 57 percent, disapproving of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
_Three-fourths say they think the United States plans to keep military bases in Iraq permanently.
_A majority of Iraqis, 72 percent, say they think Iraq will be one state five years from now. Shiite Iraqis were most likely to feel that way, though a majority of Sunnis and Kurds also believed that would be the case.
The PIPA poll, which included an oversample of 150 Sunni Iraqis, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
The State Department, meanwhile, has also conducted its own poll, something it does periodically, spokesman Sean McCormack said. The State Department poll found that two-thirds of Iraqis in Baghdad favor an immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces, according to The Washington Post. McCormack declined to discuss details of the department's Iraq poll.

If The Republicans stay in control, it will never end and the death toll can easily reach 5,000+.
There will never be any kind of Democratic Government in any Arab State and as far as Iraqi's loving us or hating us...They already hate us and that will never change!

Well right now if we pull out, we've pissed them off bad enough that there's a good chance America will get attacked. The only good way to end this war would be to anilate them and move on; not by foot either, bombs, no, not nukes, carpet bomb them and move on. But I don't see this happening, because, well look at what we have for poloticians. None of em are worth a sshit.

I'm still trying to think of ONE SINGLE STATEMENT about Iraq by anyone in the Bush Administration that's turned out to be true.
