You don't have to be a middle east expert to predict that. You only
have to look at history (recent and long term). Iraq is a lot more
westernized than Afghanistan.

Well, as you're fond of saying, we'll see. It won't be an
American-style democracy, but it could be a relatively safe place,
free (for the most part) of terrorism.



Afghanistan? Afghanistan isn't even a country. It's an outline on a map,
with hundreds of independent villages and villagers who hate the
villagers in the next village.

Good explanation

Iraq will fall apart. Afghanistan will never be "together" enough to
fall apart.

It might survive as 2 countries.


Then there would be Pakistan, North Pakistan and Outer Pakistan.

East Iran and North Pakistan.
