There's your nation building. Iraq has been a frickup from day 1. At best, we can hope that the Sunni insurgents take control of the entire country so that Iraq can once again become a buffer to the Iranians. 4500 lives & 1.7 trillion later, we could be back at square 1.

That can't happen, now. The Sh'ia will just go on a Sunni killing rampage - in turn, they'll pour into Syria and Jordan. The Sh'ia have just been waiting for an excuse since we pulled out - their militias are well-equipped by Iran.
