Once Iraq is "liberated" there will be a brief honeymoon that will last no longer than a month, then the Shiites are going to decide that the Iraqi middle class that our government is going to be depending on for the rebuilding of this country, are no-good infidels and they will be attacking this middle class. After that, the Kurds are going to decide they want their own country and they'll start border problems with Turkey just to get it. Our troops will be smack dab in the middle of this and our resources would be spread to thin to deal with Iran or North Korea.

Ah, yes. Quite likely. How soon we forget. Iran was becoming Westernized until the Shiites, under "ayatolah" Khomeni, took over. But, now, the Shiites of Iraq are the enemy of our enemy, so they must be our friends, right?
