More than a decade ago - I was telling the same thing - if US was to go into Iraq - it could end up in a breakup of the country by ethnic and religious lines... I was told to stuff it as I had no clue what I was talking about - and that the US of course had it all under control, and it was a silly idea to even speak about a breakup of Iraq by ethnic and religious lines...

I was right then - and the ones who told me to stuff it - had not even a clue how right I was - But I doubt I will be given any "sorry I got it wrong" from them anytime soon...
