How long is this new government in Iraq going to last?

[Solon]

PLACE YOUR BETS, I'm hedging on 1 year max, then overthrow.

ON EDIT: Talking about Iraqis overthrowing the US run(or is that backed, so confusing :)) government.

1. Overthrow by the Iraqis? Iran, who?

2. Overthrow by who?

Us or the Iraqi people?

I don't know, I hope they can make it work. I don't think they can, but I hope it holds together long enough to hold elections so that they can set up some sort of legitimate government. I very much fear that the Iraqi people won't "be ready" for elections for as long as what's-his-name wants to stay in power.

5. Not Very Long

As long as the Bush-controlled White House has any say in how the Iraquis govern themselves or use their oil revenue.

6. Until June 30 before midnight.

In the end, all countries will be willing to allow the Kurds left standing to establish their own country.
