What If?

What if no Weapons of Mass Destruction are found?

What if Iraq elects a government hostile to the US?

What if the Coalition tries to appoint a government with poor human rights cred?

Fucksakes, haven't we got enough to worry about?

You aren't worrying about this already?

You want to worry about it when it starts to happen?

1. Democrats win in 2004, get awfully smug about it, utterly fail to do anything to help the new Great Depression that follows the inevitable diplomatic isolation. Far likelier scenario: chaos, as claim meets counterclaim.

2. How? You think they'll be allowed free elections right away? I'd be *really* surprised by that.

3. Chaos for 5-10 years, then another Tower Day, bigger than the last time.

I've been thinking about this for weeks now.

Well, surely we've got the good ol' corporate carve-up to look forward to first...

The US will control the country and US construction companies will 'rebuild' it. And you seriously think they won't just 'stumble' across a deep underground cavern full of anthrax and all Saddam's nasty weapons with a big sign at the front saying 'UN Inspectors Stay Away!!'?

Going back to what Grant was saying about free elections, has anyone actually heard any US spokesman use the word "democracy" at all?

Flowers: Yeah, I've wondered about that. But it's an invitation to all kinds of trouble in its own right. Far better, if I were running the show, to say there was anthrax, but it was moved out of the country. Then I could use the spectre to justify further operations and appropriations.
