Oh, I think it would be considerably worse than that. There's no telling
how long, or how expansive the resulting Civil War would be, but one thing
is certain, Iran's sphere of influence would be greatly enlarged. That is
not a good thing, coupled with the damage to this country's influence and
prestige. But then, Bush and his neo-con buddies should have thought it
through, wouldn't you think? There was a very good reason Bush I stopped
*before* Baghdad, but then he wasn't a nitwit.
