1. It cause Iraqi refugees to pour into other countries like Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
2. It destabilizes the world economy especially the world price of oil.
3. It creates social instability amongst minorities in other countries. The riots in France in 2006 for example was a mix of both domestic and general unrest in the ME.
4. Creates sectarian strife in countries like Lebanon and Turkey where different religions and politics are intertwined.
5. Increases both Terrorism and Petty Crime (People trafficking, smuggling, money laundering, etc...) in other countries. |
Okay lets see what I disagree with.
3. Or could it be that those countries example France have chosen to require assimilation to the culture and refused to bow to demands from immigrants to change to suit them? In the name of National Integrity.
4. Got news for you the Christians and Islamics have been going at in Lebanon/Turkey/Baltics for long time before Iraq was invaded.
5. Terrorism yeah I'll give you
that too a degree. Petty crime no petty crime raises and falls. Smuggling/Trafficing are some of the most profitable criminal endeavors always have been. More are being caught because of hieghtened port and border security.
