At worst a Kurdish Alley in the North, a nominal alley in the south and a weak center that does not like us. Much better than before were we had teh full resources of Iraq being used to subvert our interests.

That won't change the fear. If they sink into a civil war, people will still not want the US to invade them. Syria, Iran, Libya and North Korea all seriously fear a US invasion. I can't imagine any other feeling I would rather have these countrys feel for us than absolute terror.
