Dismay and fury in the armed forces

I don't see the problem in Iraq as being so much a potential civil war as it will be a Shi'ite Sha'ria state in alliance with Iran.

The Iraqi Sunnis were a major minority to begin with and apparently any of them with half a brain and the money are emigrating to anywhere that will take them.

So, even if a civil war does break out, I believe it will be relatively shortlived, as I would expect the Shi'ite majority will waste no time in massacring the Sunnis.

A year ago I would've argued against that. Not now.
