What you said is what should happen, but I doubt that’s what’s going to happen. Like hunter112, I see a pan-Islamic war shaping up. It’s been a long-time coming, and all the elements are there: ancient tribal rivalries and religious animosities, a power vacuum, an emotional, largly uneducated and easily manipulated populace and billions in oil wealth for the victors. If the surge doesn’t work, and if the Iraqi government doesn’t get its act together real quick, buckle your seatbelts.
Me too.
