Do you think that Iraq will be very westernized in the future like how s.korea/japan is now? (after all the war settles down)
What will be their specialty and commonly seen coming out of the people of Iraq? BMX riding? Heavy Metal music? Fetish porn?
Or will the country forever be a third world muslim shithole and lose American/western influence forever

This was a quick preview of what was about to happen, in between America's invasion and ISIS

It could have been Westernised under Saddam, but who cares about it now?
Was this intended for /his/?
Yeah maybe if we hit them so hard like Japan that they will change.

No, they will always be an Islamic caliphate unless a Western nation goes whole-hog Manifest Destiny on them.
Same specialty they've had for the last 80+ years: Bestiality and blowing themselves up in an attempt to kill people they don't like.
>mfw we would be driving cheap vietnamese rice burners and talking on the Nguyen 10 smartphone if the Vietnamese weren't retarded and let the commies influence them and win

Iraq's probably going to turn into a slightly flatter and more violent version of Iran with ironically decent foreign ties as they do business and have some anti terror relations with the world. So they could be moderators.
Could be a good niche for Iraq if they stomp ISIS hard and calm the fuck down, along with Iran.
I dunno. The main difference between the Middle East and Japan is that we nuked Japan. Maybe we should consider the same?
>What will be their specialty and commonly seen coming out of the people of Iraq?
Sectarian violence.

Last I checked /his/ doesn't really allow discussion of events in the last 20 years.

Or the reason could be that Japan was actually a stable country and its people were following government orders.
In most muslim countries it seems that religion and tribe comes first and country and laws are of lesser importance.
>>32247901
wasn't the whole point of the war to seperate the country like the bulkans so isreal is the strongest country in all of middle east lol
