What are some consequences the US could faceif they use  force in Iraq?

I'm assuming you mean Iran and not Iraq (we're already using force there).\n\nWe wouldn't be affected much by using force in Iran directly (except of course, that we would be using force) because we do not get any thing from Iran, such as oil.  However, China and India both get alot of oil from Iran.  If Iran were to cut off the supply to them, this would increase demand on the other sources, which would drive prices up, which would affect us.\n\nIran cannot hit us with any of there missile forces, so really the only immediate consequence would be a sharp increase in the price of oil.  Of course this price increase would ripple through the entire economy, so it's not a small thing.

When Iraq becomes Americanized...

I think it will be like Vietnam where the US won militarily in terms of the number of enemy troops/insurgents that were killed(US lost 58,000 soldiers, Viet Cong lost over 1.5 million) but did not acheive its goal to stop the communist takeover of Vietnam. The US will no doubt kill dozens of insurgents for every soldier it loses in Iraq but public opinion in the States will eventually lead to troop withdrawal and the insurgents may overthrow the undefended and overwhelmed democratic government and install a theocracy like Iran

Nothing, US will not go to war with N. Korea.  It's military is much stronger than Iran and Iraq combined and there is nothing to gain in that land.  What I think the US will do is to negotiate and work closely with UN. If that doesn't work out, I strongly doubt we will go to war with N. Korea.

Zero.\n\nThe democratically elected Iraqi government has requested that the U.S. stay to finish its job of making them strong enough to govern and defend their fledgling Republic.\n\nWe are there at the Iraqi's request.

US is not worried about iraq, they gives a rat's ass about iraq. Unfortunately iraq has OIL and that is US's # 1 weakness.\nAll the countries with oil are unfortunate cuz US will get them and is getting them one after the other\n\nUS is greedy for oil and thats it. They dont even care about their own people, dying in Iraq for not freakin reason.  what a shame!!!!!!!! and its sad!!!!!!1

The Iraqi government will have to do that if they want it.  The US government can't keep forcing themselves on countries that don't want them there.

The Iraq government has the last say in it. They suffered more of his regime then we Americans have so it's really under their jurisdiction to do what they may with him.

Even if we pull our combat troops out today, the Iraqui military is still going to need logistical support for a long time. American troops will be there for at least a decade.

Any other answer would be idiotic speculation.The only result for sure will be more dead americans and Iraqis!Get real .This is the middle east.these countries have been fighting for hundreds of years!

We started this, we have to bring it to an end. After we leave, then whatever happens... happens. The US achieved the vacuum of power that would now exist if we were to cut and run. Things are bad there now, but they are nothing like what would happen were we to immediately remove our troops. Forget the fighters......... every man with his heart must remember all the innocent victims that would loose their life without our presence there.

insurgents wont put their guns down that easily. if US gets out of iraq there is a fair chance they will lay down arms and negotiate for power with their new governmnt.

Not at present as;\n\nA) IRAQ will now provide much of the oil the USA wants, at a price it likes. Therefore it can afford some disruption to oil supplies from Saudia Arabia - it won't cause panic buying in the US.\n\nB) The are easier targets which, if invaded/attacked, will restore US confidence in its armed forces and help get a Republican re-elected to the White House.\n\nNope - no attack on IRAN in the near future.

Its A Burning Question :\n\nThe US Congress passed a resolution in October 2002 that authorized military force to enforce UN sanctions and "defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq." \n\nOn 20 March 2003, the United States launched a war against Iraq, with President Bush saying the attack was to "disarm Iraq and to free its people"; 250,000 United States troops were supported by approximately 45,000 British, 2,000 Australian and 200 Polish combat forces. \n\nThe US State Department released this list of the "coalition of the willing": Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan and the United States. \n\nOn 1 May, aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and under a "Mission Accomplished" banner, the President said, "Major combat operations have ended; in the battle of iraq, the US and her allies have prevailed... We've removed an ally of al Qaida." Fighting continues; there is no scheduled departure of US troops. \n\nThe Iraqi Interim Government (IIG) assumed authority for governing Iraq on June 28, 2004. Elections are scheduled for January 2005. \n\nWhereas the first Gulf War was measured in days, this second has been measured in months. Fewer than 200 US military were killed in the first war; more than 1,000 have been killed in the second. Congress has appropriated $151 billion for the war effort.
