You mental midget. How is a country that cannot even feed its people, has 66% of its territory occupied, has 2 large majority groups that are against the ruling Suni minority class going to develop anything that even gets close to Europe (let alone the US)?
There are military bases that surround Iraq from all angles including Kuwait, Saudi, Afghanistan, Jordan and Pakistan.
The only country that is even close to being in danger is Israel (and IDF could beat the Iraqis, too).
Also, since you are too dumb to realize that Iraqis HATE fundamentalists more than they hate the US, they would not work together.
