Doubtful, especially since the US had the secular Arab states as being 
top of its list for knocking over, starting with Iraq and then (if 
things had gone well) Syria.

The fact is that only Islam is standing against US neo-imperialism and 
this counts for a lot. The fact that the US acts like a client state for 
Israel just makes things worse. There will be no peace in the ME until 
the Palestinian problem is resolved.

As for Iraq, I see it breaking up into three states.
In the North a defacto Kurdish democratic republic, assuming Turkey does 
not invade.
In the centre a Sunni Islamic state.
In the South a very pro-Iranian Shiite state which may or may not be 
Islamic.
Only the Kurds will express any gratitude to the West.
