And for everyone who tries to simplify the situation as some sort of sunni VS shia thing, lets not forget who the Kurds are.
They're Sunni muslims :shock:

I agree fully with you on this one Tucker. One group that will not fare well in a Civil War situation are the GOP. That will spell the end of their control of the US govt for about 8 years or so. Iraq and Iran are not the only countries to have a Shia/ Sunni problem, a age old schism that makes the Catholic/Protestant thing look like the Mods and the Rockers.tucker lyons said:which is why Saddam was the finger on the pulses of their respective throats
now he's gone and the world police that is the coalition of the willing are about as good at keeping peace as introducing it....
lets just say that we compare it to when we ourselves got our independence. 1918-1922, civil war as opposing factions wanted to usurp each other and gain control. that was 2 opposing factions. it went on for 4 years in a population of say, 3 million.
in iraq we have 4 factions among 25million. so by tuckers theory of reloadivity a civil war formula could be 4(f) x 4 x (25(p)/3(c))= 133 years.
busy time for foreign correspondants and munition dealers.
dont forget the kurds!
