text: what do you think it will happen to iraq if u.s. troops come back home?   this wont happen for numerous reasons, but i am fond of what if scenarios.  if our troops were to pull out of iraq, the civil war would continue and iraqis would continue killing other iraqis because it is three different ethnic groups with different ideas all wanting control of the country. eventually what would happen would be the group with the most money power and brute force would take over establishing a goverment of dictator control and most likely and ethnic cleansing of the group they hate unless said group goes along and behaves and accepts the dictator.
