Would Iran Take Over Iraq? Would Al-Qaeda? The Debate About How and When to Leave Centers on What Might Happen After the U.S. Goes.
If U.S. combat forces withdraw from Iraq in the near future, three developments would be likely to unfold. Majority Shiites would drive Sunnis out of ethnically mixed areas west to Anbar province..... Southern Iraq would erupt in civil war between Shiite groups...... And the Kurdish north would solidify its borders and invite a U.S. troop presence there. In short, Iraq would effectively become three separate nations......
That was the conclusion reached in recent "war games" exercises conducted for the U.S. military by retired Marine Col. Gary Anderson. "I honestly don't think it will be apocalyptic," said Anderson, who has served in Iraq and now works for a major defense contractor. But "it will be ugly." The way Bush is running the war will lead to the down fall of Iraq. It's just a matter of time before Bush will fail.

If Iraq fails what? They were a nation before the US invaded. So was Iran. They were not fighting each other anymore than they use to be doing for years and years between three religious groups - Sunnis and Shiites and the Kurds. Majority is Shiites, then sunnis, then Kurds.(no different that the Catholics, Protestants, and Muslims or what have you.
And if Iraq should break up, what of it? Just means we have to change the atlas's again(since the fall of the USSR.)

Iran is lots extra complicated than that, and the politics in contact. quite, do your man or woman analyze and learn into what's happening over there w/o Bush's "pov" interior the way. you will understand issues so a lot extra useful and can desire to be surprised and a sprint frightened by what you detect. The machinations of politics are quite spooky and nauseating all on an analogous time. _()_

No matter what is done by the US now or later, the same thing is going to happen. The tribes will fight for power the one that kills the most people and scares the most will take power and run the same as Saddam, that is shown in their history.
Bring home all troops now and let be what is going to be.

Iran will head in, difference is that it will be done heavy handed. they will have absolute control and put up with nothing.

Erudite, you really shouldn't post when you've been doing the drugs. Your "questions" become mere mindless rants.
