I suspect that when Iraq does get to elections, that that will be structured in some complicated electoral way to allow power to be divided, perhaps by splitting each region into it's own "state". I don't know how the USA is going to prevent a Shiite president though.
So, onetime2, what do you see as the exit strategy that will leave a majority muslim country with a USA-friendly government?

Yeah it's a real complicated idea, splitting a country up by regions and allowing those regions (or districts or whatever you want to call them) to elect representatives who share power.

And we've seen how well ignoring the situation and not responding to terrorist attacks has worked for us over the last 30 years. Until countries and leaders pay a price for their attacks they will continue to grow in intensity.
