This should probably be the last new thread that I'm going to make for today since I don't want to overwhelm this forum. Anyway, though, here goes:
What if the US and its allies would have successfully pressed on all of the way up to Baghdad in 1991 and helped the Iraqi Shiite and Kurdish rebels whom Bush Sr. encouraged to rebel against Saddam Hussein to actually overthrow Saddam Hussein? Would there have been a subsequent Iraqi Sunni Arab insurgency similar to what occurred after 2003 in real life? Would there have eventually been the rise of anything comparable to ISIS? What effects would a new, likely Shiite-led regime in Iraq in 1991 (as opposed to 2003, as in real life) have had on both Iraq, on the rest of the Middle East, and on the rest of the world?
Any thoughts on this?
