What will happen in Iraq after U.S. goes?

[Red Lion]

"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 is basically what it was until the end of WW1.

The big question is how many refugees from Iraq the U.S. will be able to handle in the next few decades.

[Charlie P]

Hopefully none. Let them stay there and work it out.

Too late. The U.S. has already agreed to accept several thousand, but has not yet brought nearly that many in. Stay tuned....

Let's be honest because of their differences these people will never be a united country.A western style democracy in Iraq what you talking about Willis?

It's the 21st Century and these folks still stone each other to death and kill their kids for being in love with the wrong person.
