[ck4829]

One of the favorite talking points of RW'ers is to say "You don't what it will be like in 20 years, what Bush did will be justified... JUSTAFIDE!!!!!!1111!!!!1111!!!!11111"

So really, what will Iraq look like 20 years from now?

2. Lets see

We don't know what it will be like in 20 years, but they do. bush supporters have been fucking morons from day one. And those shouting that obviously aren't serving their country in uniform or anywhere else.

I predict in all my most powerful Hogishness that in 20 years, conservatives pukes in this country will be saying give Iraq just ten more years and bush will be vindicated. He's a liar. They are idiots. The case has been closed for years.

3. A state in ruins. A shadow of its former self, when it was the most advanced country in the ME.

It will have a large percentage of people in poverty, lacking medical care, working in service industries, and its once-great universities will be teaching only 'US/puppet government' approved courses. It will still be ringed with giant military bases, prisons, and the world's largest embassy.

4. I predict (temple rubbing)

1. A low grade war in the north between Kurds and Turkish forces (or proxies) over control of the north, to deny the Kurds autonomy, to discourage their own Kurdish minority and to attempt to take a slice of their oil fields.

2. Everything west of Baghdad will be New Saudi Arabia and a No Man's Land, sprinkled with US bases acting as a buffer to keep number 3 out.

3. Everything from the delta east is Western Iran.

4. Baghdad is Beirut, where the proxies fight it out.
