Does Iraq have a future? Maybe as a sanjak or vilayat (governorate) in a larger empire; one assumes Iranian. Otherwise, it joins Somalia and Yemen.
It's an artificial nation-state in any case. Even the name is bogus, filched from a rubble pile on the map called "Urak" once upon a time, a long time ago. What was a scattering of mud bricks twenty five hundred years ago is a scattering of mud bricks again, why everything old is new again.
The damage "W" Bush and his neocon horde caused to that entire region is beyond calculation.
