Civil War in Iraq? No, How is that possible.

Yea pretty shocking to find out Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds really hate each other and the only reason they hadn't killed each other was because of a tyrant like Saddam who scared the shit out of people so they couldn't move a finger. Now with western style democracy (perfectly suitable for a country that has never experienced any form of democracy) and not to mention the chaos in Iraq, these groups really have the opportunity to "express" themselves.

Not that I have a Chrystal ball or anything , but knowing that region very well, that was THE question I had before going into Iraq: How are you gonna deal with these groups in post-war situation? Cuz winning the battle was no brainer; the most powerful army in the world going against one of the weakest ones. It was ever so comforting not to hear a SINGLE word about this topic from our top officials. However, they did a good job ridiculing European countries who brought up the different religious groups problem in post-war Iraq... Freedom fries anyone?

The map shows different religious groups in Iraq and where they are situated, if you click on it, you get a more readable map.
