1. Let's just say Bush is successful in installing his government in Iraq...

over a period of time, I can see an ugly uprising involving hostages and terrorism by a group of activists against the U.S. for propping up an unpopular leader.

I have a theory that Republicans were all lousy history students in school because they don't learn from the mistakes of the past. They keep doing them over and over. I'll bet there's a strong correlation between your inclination to being a Republican and being lousy in history.
