Bush has done it again. He lied about WMDs for inveding Iraq and he lied again in his address on September 11 when he said that the US will win in Iraq. US is a very big loser whatever happens now. If democracy prevails there will be a Shia govt. the leaders of which are friendly and indebted to Iran which means Iran will control all of southern Iraq which borders on Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. This will give them a certain leverage on the largest oil producers of the world. The Arabs must be dreading the prospect of Islamic Persians breathing down their necks. The Kurds will see their opportunity and demand de facto independence which will upset Turkey a key Nato ally. Already their are regular bomb blasts in Turkey. If, on the other hand, there is civil war in Iraq the US will be tied down for a long time and Iran will continue to create problems by training and arming militants. They will thus be able to distract the US and continue with their programme to build nuclear weapons. Either way the US loses. Saddam was the best friend the US had. He was undoubtedly a murdering psycho but he was secular in his hatred of jehadis and was an implacable enemy of Iran. Also he was toothless and, therefore, a useful ally to have if the US wanted to bomb the nuclear sites in Iran. Bush may have invade Iraq for his Pop but it will go down in history as ' MOM' i.e. Mess of the Moron.
