There may be a fundamental shift in the Sunni/Shia divide in the Middle East, or there may be civil war along that divide. The USA is not in a position to convincingly declare victory and leave Iraq. The Iranians can influence the outcome there, and any attack on Iran will inflame the situation. The Iranian regime believes it is in its best interests to acquire nuclear weapons. Then there's Afghanistan. Very sticky and interesting.
