AGHDAD — The top U.S. envoy to Iraq said Monday that the 2003 toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime had opened a "Pandora's box" of volatile ethnic and sectarian tensions that could engulf the region in all-out war if America pulled out of the country too soon.

In remarks that were among the frankest and bleakest public assessments of the Iraq situation by a high-level American official, U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said the "potential is there" for sectarian violence to become full-blown civil war.

2. Dumb Asses in the drivers seat.
In spite of Saddam Hussein being a bad dictator, he did serve a purpose of keeping the lid on a boiling pot radicals. Now that BushCo has created another potential Iran, BushCo feels that taking on Iran too will solve the problem. Of course BushBots and Republicans more loyal to the Party, rather than country, dismissed this because their Glorious Leader told them not to worry.

The only way BushCo's plans work, is if they plan to wipe out these populations in the Middle East.
