The British imposed boundries for Iraq with disolve...

Once the Shi'ite majority breaks away watch for the Kurds to push hard for a seperate country which of course would then spill over into Iran and Turkey....

The Sunni former Iraqi's would be sepeated from their natural allies to the south and so become an isolated but close to the Sunni population in Syria...

A big mess....

But one that has been expected in academia for years...

I first heard of this intra islamic fighting back in 1978 at Ohio State when a professor Thrace surmised that the USSR would crumble from within due to the mounting Islamic radicalism along it's Southern flank...

He predicted they would loose in Afganistan, that Saddam would fall and that the first part of the next century would be all about intra Islamic tension and warfare...

He also said this warfare could spread into Russia, Europe and Africa as it had in centuries past...

He also said the US would need to stay above the fray and focus more attention on securing our relationship with Central and South America and that China would be our true enemy....

Amazing man...
