History

I wonder if Iraq will repeat history or create new history. Will they be able to get over the revenge mentality that according to the press is sending them to civil war? Or will they pull an annhiliation such that Iraq is left desolate? Only The Shadow knows.
Most civil wars end with everybody getting so tired of the killing that everybody abandons the area or peace is called. Maybe the Iraqis are stubborn enough to stick it out such that a new result occurs, that of annhiliation. This should be interesting.
