As we pull out, Iran, Syria, and Turkey will fight over the rotted carcass of Iraq, Iran will continue to enrich uranium, Bush will probably then unilaterally firebomb Iran without waiting for international consensus, and Iran will retaliate by screwing up the world's oil market. Israel will freak out about Iran's nuclear capability, and they will nuke Iran, who will retaliate in kind. North Korea, not to be upstaged, will probably do something like threaten Japan with nukes unless they get what they want. Do I read too much apocalyptic sci fi or what?
