Zero your answering this as if the US took over Iraq. The question was if Iraq joined the UN not became part of the US.

Yes thank you to everyone though I didn't get to participate this time around cause of my incident, which I want to thank the Admins and all the other clan reps for being so understanding and thoughtful of the situation. The clans experience was great and I, as well as all of AoA look forward to participating in future tours of duty here at UF! Once again thank you to the Admins and all the great clans!

I used to have it, but gave it up when I had my brief crack addiction to World of Warcraft

I couldn't think of anything better :'(

China would give 2 shits, Russia would lend as much support as they could because of their whole "crack down on terrorist activity" They would support them joining the UN because it would provide another somewhat stable country in the region for a little bit. Or they would be selfish and not want them considering most of the resources for building infrastructure and so on would come from both countries and they wouldn't be willing to commit that kind of support especially considering the whole thing could and very likely would flop. They would definitely send peace keepers for as long as possible until the shit really hit the fan if it did. If a civil war broke out, Russia or China or both might try to take control of the country to protest it from a militant group like Hamas taking control, the Ba'ath Party regaining control and for control of oil. U.S. wouldn't like that and could lead to a war, possible economic sanctions on China. And a break or suspension of diplomatic relations with Russia and the sharing of technology/agricultural support because of how bad their economy is. Or the U.S. would allow for them to create a sphere of influence as long as we get our share of the pie. I see more support for Russia doing this than China, because politically Russia is more stable. Lots of possibilities. Reactions based on current foreign policy are easy to judge, but this is a "theoretical situation" and there would be a change in U.S. Foreign Policy, so it's difficult to predict what exactly would happen because there is no direct course of action. Basically chaos would ensue of some sort. Russians could possibly also provide military support to the Kurds to take control of Iraq as long as they also receive their "piece of the pie"

never mind I checked it out.... My God I hope I never suffer that kind of torture

2 words for you D SWAMP DONKEY swamp donkey?

How do I bump? you just did it dummy

I think the population of Iraq for the most part would find pleasure in the thought. In order for the nation to be part of the UN it has to be in relative peace which would be hard to accomplish, especially with the Kurds in the North wanting self-rule. Overall the population would go with the decision because it would improve their country, because they would gain access to billions of UN funds for the building of infrastructure, agriculture, and developing an industrial complex. Like I said most of the population would go with it, but a good deal of the population would drop out their initial support after terrorist activity would increase, (in my belief anyways). Possible Civil War could break out amongst the peoples of Iraq as well, and is likely to happen with so many separate factions that already exist and the increase of even more factions from the base of terrorist activity from the surrounding region. I could Hamas trying to make some political movement to take over another unstable country in the region like they did in Palestine.

clear skies and a bright ass full moon here in Northeast Ohio! I'll be taking some good pictures tonight. I'm looking forward to this.

Good Luck Everyone!

That's a really loaded question with a lot of possibilities! Possible fallout: Iran, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, and a massive influx of terrorist action. Iran possible coupe, also could happen in Syria. Advantages, a UN friendly ally in the middle East other than Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. UN has access to cheaper oil and OPEC may come under stricter International Law. (Disadvantage is OPEC could increase prices on crude oil and screw the global economy, but that's where Tariffs and Embargo's from the U.S., Britain, Germany, France, Japan, China, India, and Russia put them in check.) Could possibly lead to a war of some sort and would be directly related over oil. Could be led by U.S. and UN forces and Iraq/Kuwait becomes the launch pad for this. Other possibility is Iraqi rule fails under pressure from surrounding countries and the pressures of increased terrorist activity. A coupe takes place and Iraq no longer is part of the UN. All this could take place within 5-15 years.
