do you think there will be a civil war in iraq?

one thing to pay attention to is the fact that the kurds are trying to acquire kirkuk, an oil rich city. and, the shi'ites live in all the other oil-rich parts of iraq.

the sunnis, who represent approx. 20% of iraq, have no known oil fields in the areas where they live. these people are legitimately concerned about their fate in the new iraq. i believe these people will be the primary catalyst for civil war in iraq. in response, the shi'ites will be just as ruthless and will commit atrocities of their own.

all of this will happen because bush decided that it would be a good idea to invade iraq. apologists will frequently talk about how our invasion saved future lives from saddam's brutal rule. in kind, i wonder if they'll attribute the future civil war to our intervention?

thoughts?
