Oh, I believe that Babylon will be rebuilt, but this myth that sunni and Shia will ever get along is insane.

However, Iraq might become the epicenter of the world if there is a electronic hub built there.

Then all of the data traffic, commerce, trade and transactions that passed through there would create it on a large scale the worlds most important area.

Possibly.

The Sunni and the Shia have gotten along before - let’s remember that before Saddam and really before the British cut Iraq lose after WWII, the Iraqi region was relatively stable.

Nature abhors a vaccum. When we deposed Saddam in 2003, that gave nuts like Sadr and Z-man/AQ a chance to lead the leaderless. As events have unfolded, Sadr got his fat butt shot by his own guys as we were closing in on him and we blew Z-man up with a Hellfire missile and AQ’s presence and support has pretty much ebbed away.

Nothing helps people be peaceful like a steady paycheck and something to do. This could conceivably happen in Iraq (whereas in Afghanistan the road will be much longer).....
