#4 #3: Iraq preview? Posted by: tu3031

I don't think so, TU. The Iraqi army, while still having difficulties with logistics and air support, is pretty much THE dog in the fight in Iraq, and they're pretty secular. I think we're more likely to have a second Turkey, where the Army ousts governments that become too "religious", than a return to tribalism or warlord mentality. There are still far too many people that have nightmares about the Saddam years to favor that kind of mess again.
