Heck, an Iranian invasion of Iraq might be the best bet to unify Iraqis in a common cause and fight Iran. :hmm: |
So sure on that? At least both Shia groups may unite, while the Sunnis may keep away and fight them both. Kurds of course would concentrate on what they consider to be "their" part of the Iraqi territory, any additional war can only help them to tighten their claims and control of the oil fields at Khirkuk.
Iran alraedy plays a very significant role in Iraq and has established a profound ammount of infleunce on things there. I can't imagine both Shia groups go fighting each other again like in the war with Iraq after Khomeini's comeback.
