5. Iraq has been an artificially created country since
Britain drew the map. There is no single Iraq, but 3 separate. Unfortunately for us, in the west, those Iraqi's that are most like us, the Sunni have been weakened to the point that they cannot hold the other 2 factions into a united Iraq.

Without the presence of a foreign military power, Iraq will descend into civil war. The the fundamentalist Shiites will peel-off a large chunk of eastern Iraq and a lot of the oil fields, the Kurds will peel-off a huge chunk of the western part.

The central part will stand with the more or less pro-western viewpoint, but be left will little resources to support the population there.

It doesn't stop with Iraq though. We can look for Saudi to collapse also as the Shiites upstage the moderate Saud family. Also the Kurds, will take a portion of Turkey, Iran and possibly areas around the Caspian/Black Sea (old USSR).

These neocons have really screwed the pooch this time. This is typical for Republicans, fucking morons.
