Then Iraq will suffer a horrible civil war. The Government will totally collapse and their will be no law, just regional strongmen.

The Kurds will declare independence in the North, drawing Turkey in to brutally squash it before Turkish Kurds attempt to secede.

The Sunnis will attempt to reassert their former authority by waging a genocidal war against the Shiites. Iran, mostly shiite, will get involved because they no longer have a reason not to. They still have scars from the Iraq/Iran war and will happily destroy a weakened Sunni power base.

Then the terrorists will develop new tactics in this messy environment and export this to other middle east countries in order to destabilize the region further. The Saudi Kingdom will be threatened by internal jihadists supported by foriegn terrorists.

Meanwhile, oil prices will go through the roof. Western economies will take a huge hit and inflation will soar.

With the world in chaos, China will seize the opportunity to invade Taiwan. The United States will be forced by treaty to support Taiwan and threaten military action against China. China will give us the finger and we will simultaneously invade Taiwan to liberate it and boycott all Chinese products.

Western economies will spiral further down due to the lack of cheap goods as terrorists export violence to the rest of Europe. China, Iran, and Pakistan will declare a nuclear alliance. India will seek help from the U.S.

The U.S. and Europe will be unable to fight the middle and far east at the same time and institue conscription. A global conflict will ensue as the U.S. and Europe invade China and Iran.

Russia will be forced to make a decision, join Chinese Alliance or join Europe.

Urban battlefield tactics will be completely unnegotiable without civilan Casulaites. The west will be forced into true attrition warfare and purposely kill civilians.

Palestinains will dance in the streets. Liberals will scream that the U.S. is Evil. Bush will go down in history as the man who started WW3 with a preemptive invasion into a country without WMD or foriegn terrorists.


I am really looking foward to this crap.
Ohhh... Can I make another?

US pulls out through the more and more obnoxious Iran, prompting another Iraq situation.

Iraq spirals into anarchy and warlord (militia) warfare.

US, gets tired of this continual problem and retires though Iraq towards Syria. Ripped the militias a new one and pulling the Syrian government to the ground, to the great rejoice of Israel and Lebanon.

While at it, Bush says "what the heck" and takes adrive through Palestine to help Israel.

Result: Total mayhem in the Middel East, as the powervacuum is infinate, and Turkey is tripping over its own toes to secure its borders while beating up the Kurds. The Saudi regime flees heads and necks due to the impossible situation (chaos everywhere and terrorists attacks on the increase).

Oil halts completely. Russia and Norway becomes the new oilpowers, and Russia experiences a surge in wealth, prompting Putin to establish a benevolent dictatorships while putting some pressure on Lukashenko in Belorussia.

Pakistan shakes apart as it is rocked by the chaos around it. India takes the advantage and captures the rest of Kashmir.

China, hit extremely hard by the lack of oil (no reserves of their own to speak of), looks to Russia to fuel their economy. Russia on the other hand sells to the West for more money, leaving China in the dust. China can't have this and invades to take control of the oil.

Interesting situation for the West but when Russian begins to fail in its defence the West finally jump in to help Putin. China does not like this and screams that any Chinese soldier fired upon by westerners would result in an Alpha-strike of WMDs.

Result? WWIV with sticks and stones.
