After the spectacular defeat and annihilation of the Iraqi Army at the hands of the US Army in the FGW, Iraq faced some serious problems. Most importantly, rebellions now that his scary and intimidating army was now burning or dead in the Kuwati sand. The Shia majority rose up in the Sha'aban Intifada in the South and the Kurds rose up in what they call the National Uprising in the North. Hussein used his Republican Guard to quell the dissent. Well lets say the Guard is beaten even more badly in the FGW and unable to fight the rebellion. In response the Shia are able to throw Hussein out of power while the Kurds take over Iraqi Kurdistan.

Would the US step in to restore order? Would the Saudi's or another Middle Eastern Power? Would the Shia government bring stability or would Iraq tumble into Civil War?
