What will it be like?

Let's come back to this thread in 40 years and talk about it. I hope this site and this thread will still be up then.

Please don't argue about whether the war should have ever begun or turn this into a thread about how much you think Bush sucks. The topic of this thread is the future of Iraq, not the past. Hopefully I will be able to restrain myself from getting caught up in any debates. I mainly just want to see what people think about the long term future of Iraq and how it will affect the rest of the Middle East.
