The insurgents have members with varied interests. I'm not informed enough to know who all has coals in the fire on this one. Sunni, Shiite, Al Qaeda? Who else? Are there groups of people not associated with any of these groups who are just tired of Americans being in their country?

There are three quiet civil wars going on in Iraq.
If the troops pulled out the "insurgency" would start wholesale massacring. Think about the American Civil war 150 years ago, now add modern military technology, a very brutal culture, and the interest that all the local powers have in the 5th largest oil supply on the planet stored under modern day Iraq.
Talk to someone with a clue before you believe liberal media. The goal of al-queda is to throw the mideast into chaos and interrupt world oil. The fastest way to get that to happen is to leave Iraq. Remember that the US whines at $4/gal at the pump with a 14 million barrel of oil per day diet. Lets see how "constituencies" whine at $100/gal and nearly no oil imports?
Turkey, and Iran are terrified their kurdish populations will rebel and declare independence. They hope to destabilize Iraq, and kick the crap out of the kurds, to keep their own people in line. Syria is a puppet of Iran, so thats another local nation out to crush them.
Get some history books not published since the war started, and learn what the peoples there are and what their histories are.

I believe that all h### would break loose. The sunni Bathists would try to get back in control and put Saddam or someone like him back in power, while Mucktoad al Slaughter and his Mehdi army would join forces with Iran and try to establish a Shiite hegemony. The criminal elements would join whoever paid them the most. The Kurds would secede and try to start their own country. I see millions of innocents being massacred in the ensuing wars to see who gets to be the new Imam. And the USA looks like a complete chickensh*t ahole run out by a ragtag bunch of jihadist thuggees.

I think the insurgency would increase. If there's no Coalition troops in Iraq, who's gonna stop the insurgents that are being funneled in from Iran, Afghanistan and wherever? Iraq would become another terrorist state. Plus the terrorists would be jumping for joy that they scared the Americans away. (Can you say another 9/11 style attack?)

I believe it would result in a Full Civil War with a battle for control over the state. Other middle east nations would begin to get involved with thier ties, and we may lose control to parties like Iran or others who would have a vested interest in the country and it's resources.

An insurgency, or insurrection, is an armed uprising, revolt, or insurrection against an established civil or political authority. Persons engaging in insurgency are called insurgents, and typically engage in regular or guerrilla combat against the armed forces of the established regime, or conduct sabotage and harassment in the land
why are they not called freedom fighters
its their land

it would stay the same or increase. most insurgents are from outside countries. while i was there we took insurgents from iran, jordan, saudi, and the phillipeans. this is a new country in a way. when we leave they have to fight on. the insurgents see this as a new country, they are fighting us because they see it as a democratic country now and that is a westerner way.

US withdrawal will result to peace in Iraq because they will unite as one nation and one people without the Americans inciting them to fight each other.

i doubt it, without the army what's stopping them from getting more weapons and then kill everybody who disagrees with them?
