Even if Iraq is stabilized, does that guarantee stability in the entire region? Any thoughts?

Answer 1

That is a huge "IF" right now. All the sectarian violence is going to have to stop. The US will have to pull out its troops. Iran will have to back off with their support of some insurgency forces. Saudi Arabia has threatened to send in their troops to support the Sunnis (Syria is also primarily Sunni). Hezbollah will have to stop surrounding the legitimate government of Lebanon and let them function as a nation. Israel has to hold off on threats to use nukes vs Iran's nuclear plants. Even if Iraq is stabilized, there are too many issues by too many countries that will destabilize the region. One major wrong move by any one of the mentioned countries could cause a regional war, with or without the US involvement.

Answer 2

No. It will never be stabilized in that region because is not the problem in that region. Its the fact that Israel was formed on the blood of Palestinians. It will always be the war between palis and israelis, if both get respected amount of land they can live in peace but israel doesn't seem to want to that because they are building settlements in the West Bank still. I mean now theres even more separation in the middle east it used to be just the pali and israeli conflict now its iraq shiite and sunni problem, Iran wants nuclear weapons because Israel has nuclear weapons, and Lebanon has been completly destroyed. raq can become peacful and lovely land and theyre wont be stability in that region.

Answer 3

No. If Iraq is stabilized and American forces leave, Iran and surrounding countries will still influence their politicians. The Iraqi government is a young one who is quickly influenced by more established countries. They will also be viewed by their neighbors as "the country that America built" and will constantly be attacked by American opponents. It is a no win situation.

Answer 4

The region has always been inherently unstable due to its nomadic tribal nature, in-fighting and general domestic disputes has always been the norm.

Its an ancient civilization, even before we had Iraq and Iran, religion and religious beliefs dictate/d the movement of people.

Answer 5

it sure does not hurt to have a stabilized area in any region

have you seen the statements coming out of Saudi Arabia....they are getting very upset over the Shiite violence......and putting pressure on Jordon, Lebanon, and the US about it

the Saudis will not allow Iran to dominate the region......they have more influence than people suspect and do it third parties to pull their weight in the region....they paid a third of the US cost of freeing Kuwait, they are now helping to marginalize the southern Shiites in Lebanon, and told Jordan and Syria to quit assisting Iran

Answer 6

No it will not be completely stabilized because there are still a lot of differences between them and a lot of angry people because of what has been done to them.
I think it is time for them to work it out otherwise troops could be there for years to come.

Answer 7

No We have to work on our own problems The last two years we have cut funding for cancer studies.We have made cuts that help Americans.One day day Saddam is our man for making war in Iran. Ten years later we hand him over to the mob to be hanged.One day we give weapons to the Taliban to kill Russians ten years later we are on the hit list. We should try to stabilze the price health care first.

Answer 9

It doesn't guarantee anything. America isn't stable, so why can't we do something in this country?
