Out of the four examples I don't think you can point to any one of them and say "that's what will happen in post-war Iraq", but it does give you some indication.
I'm just saying...it's right there!

What will happen in post war Iraq basically depends on what US does after the war is over. If the US just installs a goverment (democratic or whatever) and then simply walks away, I will expect future terrorists from there. If the US really helps build the infrastructure and wins the hearts of the people, it may open up the flood gates of true democracy (Indian style ) in the Arab world. I think the situation will be just like Afghanistan.

I almost totaly agree with you. Hopefully we will stay and rebuild. I would like to think that we will at least. I would be careful though with drawing too many parallels with Afghanistan. This is mostly because the population of Iraq has a much greater level of education than that of Afghanistan, and this will be instrumental to the success of reconstruction.

What I said, & you very much construed is that some of us AMERICANS are just a tad sick & tired of paying with our money & our lives to wipe up these moronic regimes. We have problems that need to be fixed too! When the hell are some of the other countries around the world gonna get off their butts & take some freaking resposibility for these nutjobs...... why do we have to run to help every damn time! If someone would have put a bullet in Hitler's head when they had the chance we would have never had to deal with him but NO, let him have this let him have that...pacify him.....& what did it get us?

To get back to what I think may have been your original point in posting this thread (or maybe not), the differing slant of the headlines for the same news item carried today on the front pages of CNN and BBC illustrate the differing views rather well I think:
BBC: 'No smoking guns' in Iraq arms search
CNN: Blix: Many unanswered questions on Iraq
