It will most likelly turn out like here on Iceland. We were occupied by the Brits in WWII. They were later replaced by US troops. But because that gave us the leverage to declare us independant from Denmark, the government at the time(conservative) made a deal with the US government to defend us after the war. Later that turned into the NATO treaty.
Now 50+ years later it doesn't look like the US troops are leaving. Same will happen in Iraq.
That will mean that the presence of US troops in the middle-east will fuel more anti-americanism and anti-western stance there and will only result in more terrorism, more civilian deaths, more military involvement and the worst case scenario suddenly turns out to be reality........
